Bonnie has been inspiring her dad to chase his dreams since she was born eight months ago and she’s inspired his latest single.

It was after Bonnie’s arrival that Cammy, from Methil, auditioned for ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent earlier this year. Initially impressing the judges with his rendition of Drivers License by Olivia Rodrigo, he progressed through to the live semi-final of the series, wowing viewers with his captivating voice and guitar skills.

Cammy, who is a barber by trade, explores the ups and downs of early fatherhood, the unmissable milestones and the sense of responsibility that comes from the moment of a baby’s first cry through the moving lyrics of his latest track.

Cammy said: “Becoming a father was the most scary thought I had ever had, but when Bonnie arrived it gave me life. As soon as I looked into her eyes, I felt love like I had never experienced before. Now, I want to work harder than ever, so I can be there for Bonnie and give her every opportunity possible in life.

"Everything I do is for Bonnie, and I hope parents can connect with this song, which was an emotional journey for me to write.”
