Early life

As a child he sang in a choir. He moved to London aged 11, performed in a school production at the O2 Arena, and taught himself to play his father's old guitar. Rather than contemporary pop, he grew up listening to soul musicThe Drifters, The Temptations, Roy Orbison, Frank Ocean, etc.[3]

He studied economics and maths in college but quit to go to East London Arts & Music for sixth form. He started writing songs in his last year at ELAM and learned production in its studio.[4]

A chance meeting with his now manager occurred when a fellow student was looking for a guitarist for one of her college shows. She connected him with producer Two Inch Punch, who took on a mentor role and worked with him on his tracks almost from the beginning.
