I don't think he would of fit in the hair metal scene. He doesn't look like that is the crowd he would be marketed too. I don't know what his genre is. It will be interesting to see how they market him.
You might be right, I really don't know how to classify him, it will be interesting to see how he's marketed...
"Hair metal" was just the last time I could remember it being "cool" for a male to hit notes in that range...
