Early life

The original members made a tour in Ireland, UK, Sweden, and appeared on the US television station CN8, [1] a cable television station where they performed "Room in Your Heart" in a morning show hosted by Greg Coy. After many changes, the amended cast of Streetwize – English Lee Hutton, Irish Lee Mulhern, Venezuelan Antonio Jones and American Kyle Carpenter – took part in Childline 2007 charity event singing a cover of Living in a Box's hit "Room in Your Heart".
