Danny O'Donoghue

And I met Mark Sheen.

He was the guitarist from the band The Script.

But I met him back when he was a dancer and he used to be a break dancer.

And I was walking by his class one time and I'm like...

You know, I was like, I didn't really have many friends growing up, but I remember looking at his class and he had like 30 girls in front of him and they're all like hanging on his every word.

And I was like, I want to do that.

So I joined his class and started like, you know, I was crapping, you know, as you are, you're crapped for a year and then you start moving your way up.

Moved my way up to the front of the class.

Started then teaching for Mark.

And yeah, I got like All-Ireland Dance Champion.

I won it as a King Raver thing.

Nobody knows any of this stuff.

But back then, there was a specific place called Diggs Lane.

in Dublin and any Irish person would know that that's like it's like the capital it's almost like a nest of where most of the pop acts that came out of Ireland came from but there was Boyzone came out of there Bewitched came out of there even oh god Lord of the Rings they practiced at this place and we started this band the band was called My Town

And we thought we were going to be the next Boyz II Men because I just thought Boyz II Men were incredible.

Looking back on it now, I was like, oh, it was a boy band.

Cool.

Because all I wanted to do was do what the Americans were doing.

We just kind of grew up on MTV and hip hop and R&B.

We got the attention of Paul McGuinness.
