Child sang in a number of rock bands as a teenager and moved on to work on the circuit in Tenerife. In 1996, Child returned to Wales and continued his career.[2]
Child self-financed the production of his first album, Wales Forever, at a cost of £2500 and it became the biggest-selling independently released album in Wales in 2000. His second album, Bread of Heaven, became the official album for the Welsh Rugby Union.[1]
Child's music has been influenced by many Welsh stars including David Alexander and Tom Jones.[2]
