Early life
Ansell joined the West Sussex Boys' Choir, which Arthur Robson conducted at the age of eight, influenced by his mother's tapes of Pavarotti and the Three Tenors. He toured extensively with the choir to Florida, Germany, and France, and even performed in the Royal Festival Hall and sang many times in Arundel Cathedral. Ansell remained with the choir until his voice broke around the age of 16, when he lost the ability to sing treble, but after puberty, he discovered a high tenor voice instead.
Love Changes Everything at a choral society concert in Littlehampton, Ansell's local MP Howard Flight, who was in the audience, arranged for him to have a preliminary audition at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. Martin Elliott, a music teacher, received a scholarship to the Guildhall two years later.
Adrian Thompson, Ansell's singing tutor, has a similar voice to Ansell and he describes their lessons as being conducted together as they were at the Guildhall School. Ansell's academic results at the time were below parody. Diagnosed as dyslexic, a decision was reached where he remained a pupil.
