“Fame puts you there where things are hollow … it’s just the flame that burns your change to keep you insane”, Bowie sang on the second single from his 1975 album Young Americans. Countless stars have relayed their love/hate relationship with the music industry and celebrity game.

Pansexual artist Dalton Harris had a front-row seat, winning the UK version of The X Factor in 2018. An already tenuous route to lasting stardom, with its execs demonstrating scant care for the cogs in its machine, it was brutal on the Jamaican-born singer who struggled with the harsh realities whilst coming to terms with childhood abuse and the homophobic pushback his triumph unleashed. Remaining hopeful despite his trials, Dalton’s Dream is the gift of a passionate, tenacious young man.
