The renowned British singer and songwriter James Arthur states that growing up in poverty and almost with no money has helped him to shape up his work ethics.

The Say You Won't Let Go singer had to go through a lot of hardship to propagate his music to the world.

He said: "Being in bands and plugging away with not many opportunities and no money for many years really shaped me and taught me about work ethic."

"It really made me appreciate what I had now because it was so hard before that. X Factor provided me with a platform that has launched me and given me some longevity." stated the singer.

"I often think about starting a band again, doing my solo stuff and a band. I grew up in bands. Kurt Cobain is one of the reasons I started doing music because I just loved to watch them rock out. It's something I love to do." James Arthur added further.

However tasting fame for the first time made him "super lost" said the singer.

"There was a point in my career when I was really really lost - when I first found fame, I was super lost. I didn't have a clue what was going on. I was doing a lot of self-medicating and wasn't really in the right mind, and did some things that were quite irresponsible." Said the singer.

"Looking back, I'm embarrassed about it. But in hindsight, again, those things have shaped me and got me to a place where I have more self-respect and perspective." Arthur added.
