Sam Smith may only be 23 but he has already set more music records than some musicians do in a lifetime.

Born Samuel Frederick, he grew up in Great Chishill, Cambridgeshire, and first hit the music scene in 2012, appearing on Disclosure's single, Latch.

The single La La La with Naughty Boy featured next, and it propelled Smith on the fast track to success that does not look like slowing down.

So far this year he has already won four Grammys and set a record with hisdebut album In The Lonely Hour, which has been in the UK top 10 for 67consecutive weeks.

Today came confirmation of his latest accolade singing the theme song for the much anticipated new Bond film Spectre.
