BBC Radio 1 have consistently supported both his solo releases and his recent collabs with Marcus Marr. He’s a serious player internationally, selling out headline tours and playing major festivals throughout Europe, Asia and North America including main sets at Glastonbury, Primavera Sound, Coachella and more.
