Matt Croke chats THE VOICE UK
Well, 2020 brought so many changes to my life that, like so many performers, it was either let it get the better of me or push myself out of my comfort zone. I needed to do something scary and basically say yes to any opportunity that came my way that meant I could do what I love the most: sing!
Lots of time would go by in the first lockdown when all I had done is get up in a morning, make endless cups of coffee, speak to family, then think about what I would cook for my tea. After a while I was like, What is my life?! After about five weeks, I started making myself do home workouts or go running and thankfully, because of all the really fit and healthy people in the industry, trainers were always really easy to find. So many amazingly fit people were putting themselves out there to keep everyone in shape, and my go to people were Craig Tyler, Andy Cannon, Sammy Kelly, and the whole of 1Rebel [gym].
