Since then he has released 3 albums, one of which was with Elevation Records. In 2008, he was approached to head up a community gospel choir as part of the Hope 08 initiative. This choir has performed at various events around Cambridge, including the "Big Weekend" , and has members from churches of several different denominations in the area.
