Each year, the BBC predicts which up-and-coming acts will be taking over the airwaves, with past lists featuring the likes of Stormzy, Royal Blood and Adele. Taking his place on the BBC Sound of 2017 shortlist is Brighton-born musician Rory Graham, more famously known as Rag ‘n’ Bone Man. Stealing second place, after winning act R&B artist Ray BLK, he continues to climb his way to the top of the music charts; his debut studio album, Human (2017), topped the UK album charts while the title-track held the number one spot in Germany for over three months. Growing up, Graham was surrounded by music; as a teen he tried his hand at everything from MC-ing to jungle and hip-hop. Before hitting the music scene, Graham worked as a carer for people with Asperger and Down’s syndrome, viewing his music as more of a personal project, which he thought would be limited to the underground scene. But once the world heard his husky voice there was no going back. Proud winner of the BRITs 2017 Critics’ Choice Award, his multi-genre influences have led him to produce a unique sound wrought with soul and blues, which has captured an ever-growing fanbase worldwide.
