Reaching new heights in his career, Lewis Hamilton has steered towards the music industry by recording an album.

On 60 Minutes, the three-time Formula One world champion talked to Charlie Rose about his love for music, “Music's been a huge passion of mine since I was really young… I started playing guitar when I was thirteen."

The car lover has spent a lot of time in the recording studio, working on his upcoming album and tells Rose that the album will be an expression of his vulnerable side, "In here, I can be me… I can be vulnerable. I can show a side of me that people don't get to see."

He gave Rose a sneak preview of two of his songs, ‘J’Adore’ and ‘Lookin At You’, which have not been officially released yet.

"I never thought in a million years that I would have people following me. You know, fans," he says in the interview, "I want to share it with them. I want to see what they think."

He also explained that he took the same approach to recording an album to training for a race, "My work ethic is exactly the same here as it is on the race track," he says. "But it's just here I can be me."

Hamilton has recently declared that he is still single after splitting from The Pussycat Dolls' 'Nicole Scherzinger'.
