Nathan Sykes credits his mother with keeping him grounded

Singer Nathan Sykes has revealed that he manages to stay grounded thanks to the incredible bond he has with his mother.

Speaking to HuffPost about the effects of being adored by thousands of screaming fans, the 'Over And Over Again' sensation explained that just because people like your music doesn't mean you're a superior person:

"You know what, it doesn't really... it's such a buzz. It's so exciting to have that many people enjoy your music, but what I mean by 'it doesn't really,' is that I don't treat it like 'oh, look how many people we've got at this gig.' It's more like, 'oh, this is awesome.' I try and stay the most grounded and humble person on the planet and that's down to my team and my family."

"I still live with my mum. She'll sit there and look at me for, like, 15 minutes. She'll watch me make a cup of tea and she'll just sit there and watch me, and make small talk."

He went onto add that he asks his mother why she does this every time he returns home from a press trip or a tour, and said that she tells him that she's making sure he isn't changing at the hands of his success: "I'm just making sure you haven't changed. If ever I saw that you'd got a bit cocky or carried away, or too excited about what's happening in your life I would tell you straight."
