I was brought up with psychics and tarot cards. My mum was always told I was going to be in a boy band and be famous as a singer.
I remember my mother had this deck of cards that her mother had given her and that she passed on to me. It was a gypsy tarot deck that I used to carry everywhere.

I grew up with tarot cards and the reading of tea leaves.
