The New Zealand-born singer who turned a home recording into a UK garage anthem.
For the full picture, start with 'Gotta Get Thru This' and then try 'I Can't Read You.' They bookend his sound pretty well.
He recorded the album's title track in his bedroom, which gave it a particular homegrown feel. That track was 'Gotta Get Thru This,' a UK garage hit that showed how a DIY approach could break through. Other songs like 'James Dean (I Wanna Know)' and 'He Don't Love You Like I Love You' kept that direct, personal tone going.
He followed 'Gotta Get Thru This' with three more studio albums over the next five years: 'Second First Impression' in 2003, 'Stop the Clocks' in 2004, and 'Voilà' in 2006. Beyond that, he's largely worked as a solo artist, occasionally performing with his sister Natasha Bedingfield.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
