In July of 2013 Chicago singer-songwriter Steve Grand uploaded a video for his song "All American Boy". It was a video for a country song with a bare bum and a gay twist and a within days it had a million hit and Steve was the face of new gay country. Except that he wasn't and he wasn't even a country singer but he was in demand.

To date steve has had two successful albums and recently launched a range of underwear called Grand Axis.

I catch up with Steve to talk about his music, coping with online hate and of course underpants.
