Previous work and experience

Potts is said to have first sung Opera in 1999 in a karaoke competition, dressed as Pavarotti, although he had said during the show that his voice had always been a source of solace in the past when bullied, so he would have sung from a younger age.[6] That same year he appeared in the Michael Barrymore talent show My Kind of Music. Although he did not win the competition, he won ?8,000, which helped to pay for singing lessons in Italy. During his singing course he was selected as one of the best students, to sing in front of Luciano Pavarotti and Katia Ricciarelli, who were apparently impressed with his singing.
For the Bath UK based amateur company Bath Opera, he has performed on four occasions in the roles of Don Basilio (Marriage of Figaro), Don Ottavio (Don Giovanni) and the title role in Verdi's Don Carlos, and Turandot as Prince of Persia and Herald.[5][7][6] He also sang for the Royal Philharmonic in front of an audience of 15,000 and toured Northern Italy as a soloist.[5]
Potts broke his collarbone in a motorcycle accident in 2003, which prevented him from pursuing opera as a career. He says that this, as well as financial difficulties, led to him entering the talent show which he won and got the opportunity to perform in front of the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance2007.
