In 2001, Turner joined London post-hardcore band Million Dead at the invitation of former Kneejerk drummer Ben Dawson. The last record, their only full-length, was entitled The Half Life of Kissing and was released by Yorkshire DIY hardcore label Sakari Empire after the band had actually broken up. The band released three records and played several shows around the UK. Turner's musical career began at school, with the short-lived alternative band Kneejerk. Metal was the first musical direction he adored and he still does. The first record he owned was the 'Killers' album from Iron Maiden. While it was previously claimed that Turner lived in Winchester in his early life, he later revealed he was actually raised in Meonstoke. His father, Roger Turner, is the son of Sir Mark Turner, formerly chairman of high street retailer BHS, and had himself also attended Eton before becoming a City investment banker, while his mother, Jane, the daughter of a bishop, is a primary school head teacher. Turner was educated on a scholarship at Eton College, where he studied alongside Prince William, and later went on to attend the London School of Economics where he read History. Turner's sixth studio album, Positive Songs for Negative People was released on 7 August 2015. To date, Turner has released six solo albums, three rarities compilation albums, one split album and five EPs. Both in the studio and during live performances, Turner is accompanied by his backing band, The Sleeping Souls, which consists of Ben Lloyd (guitar, mandolin), Tarrant Anderson (bass), Matt Nasir (piano) and Nigel Powell (drums). Initially the vocalist of post-hardcore band Million Dead, Turner embarked upon a primarily acoustic-based solo career following the band's split in 2005.
