Stuart Sharp spent ten years living on the streets after the death of his infant son contributed to the breakdown of his marriage.

A “vision” of soothing music took hold of him, and despite an inability to read or write music he composed a 40-minute symphony in memory of his child, described by experts as “genius.” It was recorded by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

After ten years on the streets, jazz musician Anthony Wade found Sharp sleeping outside the BBC Television Center and gave him a place to stay.

Sharp turned his life around, making millions in sales and property development, finally allowing himself to buy a recording studio and fulfill the dream he had held since his son’s tragic death.
