A jazz and pop singer from Cobham is in the final 50 for Pizza Express’s very own talent competition - the Big Audition.
James Craise, 24, has already beaten thousands to get this far, and he successfully performed at the regional heat in London on September 19.
He now needs the public to vote for his video on the website.
Sponsored by Jamie Cullum, the winner will be awarded with an innovative competition prize.
Using an enhanced form of technology found in singing birthday cards, the winner’s music will be heard upon opening up takeaway pizza boxes.
The winner will also receive a performance at the Pizza Express Jazz Club and £5,000.
Vote for James and other competitors at pizzaexpress.com/thebigaudition.
