Vangelis Polydorou burst into public consciousness in 2016 when he sang Do You Want to Hurt Me? on The Voice. The Finsbury Park singer has since toured with mentor Boy George and has just released debut single Throw Me about searching for love online from a young gay man s perspective. “Being gay is a kind of beautiful accident, and it would be a crime to not celebrate it,” he says.
Q: Where did you grow up and was there anyone who encouraged you to perform?
A: I grew up in N19, near Stroud Green Road. I still live there, I just couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. I went to St Joseph’s Primary School and was very shy back then so no one even knew I could sing.
