Turner has two brothers, Nicholas and Robert, and a sister, Destinee Turner, who live in Boston. His mother teaches fashion design at Quincy High School. Music careerTurner's performance with his band Street Fighting Man at an event in Stockholm caught the attention of a local sound engineer, who later told his friend, Swedish producer Eshraque "iSHi" Mughal, about the singer: "This guy is freakin amazing! you have to hear this guy."[4] ISHi met him and decided straight away that he had the "X-factor", signing Turner to his music publishing company 2Stripes a few weeks later.[4] As a talented songwriter as well as singer, Turner began writing pop songs for other artists. "Written in the Stars" was one of the first pop songs he wrote, and became a song for Tinie Tempah with Turner singing the big chorus.[4] The song was released in September 2010 and peaked at number 1 in both Ireland and the United Kingdom.[3] The song peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.[5] Turner also appeared on Lupe Fiasco's album Break the Chain.
