In a career spanning 5 years, he's won 2 Brit Awards, had 4 number one singles, three top two albums and has clocked up sales of 7 million.

Crowned the original Pop Idol in 2002, Will Young's first single was the fastest selling chart debut by a male artist, which was followed by the hugely successful album 'From Now On'. With hits including 'Leave Right Now', 'Your Game', and the beautiful album title track 'Friday's Child', Will's second album release went on to sell over 1.5 million copies and was hailed as one of the best albums of the year. His third multi platinum selling album Keep On has been his latest release to date, and featured 3 massive singles 'Switch It On, 'All Time Love', and 'Who Am I', reinforcing his position as one of the UK's most successful male solo artists when released late 2005.

Will made his acting debut to much critical acclaim in 2005, in the Stephen Frears film 'Mrs Henderson Presents'. Starring alongside Dame Judi Dench, and Bob Hoskins, Will impressed both his audience and his co-stars alike. More recently Will had a leading role in the Noel Coward play 'The Vortex' which had a successful 2 month run in Manchester early 2007.

Will is set to appear in BBC1's Saving Planet Earth series in June 2007 in a one hour special where he travelled to Gabon (Africa) to highlight the plight of the Lowland Gorilla.
