In Part 1 of our exclusive two part interview with The Voice' Danny Ross, we speak with the local hope about his time in the region which nurtured his love of music.

Danny, who spent four year living in Julatten, described his experience in the Douglas region as "where I found my artistry, where I found songwriting, it's where I found my voice".

He has found early success with that voice, storming through the show's 'Blind Auditions'.

Listen to Danny reminisce about gigging in the area, and the "deep clarity" he felt when taking to take to the stage in front of a nationwide audience.

Still to come on The Newsport - Danny speaks about choosing Joel Madden as his coach heading into the Battle Round of The Voice.
