Panes gained a wide audience in 2012 after participating in a campaign for Burberry as he joined actress Gabriella Wilde as Burberry label's new campaign star.[3] The contract also included recording music for Burberry Acoustic and modelling.

Background

edit

Panes comes from a musical background. His grandmother was a classical pianist, and his mother studied performing arts at Guildhall School of Music and Drama and then worked in theatre.[4] His twin sister is a photographer, and his older sister is an illustrator who has developed and designed the artwork for all of his albums.[5]

His 2012 song “Know Me Well”--released with the Little Giant album (2014)--was used over the end credits of the Christmas special of the BBC comedy series Cuckoo (the final episode of Series 2).

Panes received the nickname 'Roo' after falling into a river as a child. It was also an homage to a Winnie-the-Pooh character who met a similar fate while playing a game called Poohsticks.
