Acquiring the nickname Jasper aged nine, the aspiring entertainer added Carrott when he was 17, a stage name that has done him proud, supporting an ever-burgeoning talent that has seen him perform to packed audiences worldwide. Other eclectic works have included hit single Funky Moped and being part-owner of the production company Celador, makers of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, until selling out some years ago.
