Jerome Thomas, 31, Record Label Director, from south London, commented that making it in the industry can be hard.

"It is very easy for the media to paint a musician in a bad way to hinder his career, he added. They do it all the time. They start by making claims of violence, drugs, and abuse - the whole lot."
