The British singer-songwriter who worked with Jay-Z and Skrillex after his 2009 debut.
For a sense of his sound, try "Time" first. If you want the Kanye-era connection, "Straight No Chaser" gives you that.
His debut single "Supernova" arrived in 2007, and the album "A Tale of Two Cities" followed two years later with songs like "Lift Your Head From Your Hands." He's one of those artists who shows up in unexpected places, working with Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Skrillex. Among his most-listened tracks now is "Time," which has held up better than some of the flashier moments.
He started putting out music in the late 2000s with "Supernova" and the 2009 album "A Tale of Two Cities." His second album "Straight No Chaser" came in 2012, and the title track from that one still gets plays. The collaborations with bigger names happened around that same stretch.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
