George Ezra, the son of two teachers, is in his early twenties, but you wouldn’t know it by the sound of his bluesy, baritone voice. This British youngster sounds right out of the homey south despite growing up in Bristol, England. We have Bob Dylan, Lead Belly, and Woody Guthrie to thank for that. He taught himself early on to sing with the soul and gusto of the blues greats. George was presented to the world at the BBC Introducing Stage of the legendary Lastonbury Festival in Scotland. Later that year his debut EP, Did You Hear the Rain was released. BBC Radio 1 gave Ezra plenty of airplay for his singles “Did You Hear the Rain” and “Budapest” and MTV, Vevo, and iTunes all marked George as a newcomer to watch out for just in time for the release of his debut album Wanted on Voyage. The album charted at no. 1 in the UK and did well across Europe. It was the third best selling album of the year in the UK and it was still holding onto the no. 1 spot going into the next year. This legend in the making has already performed with the best acts of the time, including Lianne La Havas, Bastille, Sam Smith, Tom Odell, Hozier, and Robert Plant. He has been nominated for four Brit Awards: Best British Album, Best British Male Solo Artist, Best British Single, and British Breakthrough Artist. George Ezra is fast becoming the face of a new era of bluesy folksingers who grew up with the greats as their inspirations. He is truly one to watch..
