Only 23 years old,John Newmanalready boasts a respectable CV: after having lent his voice to the tracks "Feel The Love" e "Not Giving In" of theRudimentalwhich have become authentic dancefloor anthems in clubs across the Channel, comes to thenumber 1 in the UK with"Love Me Again', the first solo single anticipating his highly anticipated - as yet untitled - album due out on 7 October.
A fresh, energetic and enthralling track that confirmed itself as one of the biggest hits of summer 2013, 'Love Me Again' is a concentrate of the musician's versatile and eclectic talent.
Born and raised in the deep English province of Settle, North Yorkshire, John began composing music self-taught at the age of 15, with the help of an acoustic guitar and a laptop. His musical background is influenced by many and varied listenings: from the tight rhythms of house music to the rediscovery of classicsnorthern souleMotownto the introspection of songwriters such asRay Lamontagne, Damien RiceeBen Harper.
After attending the College of Music in Leeds, John moved to London, where he quickly progressed from gigs in local pubs to television appearances on the likes ofLater with Jools HollandeChristmas Top Of The Pops: the rest is recent history. Despite his accolades, however, John maintains a 'do it yourself' ethos by remixing his own music, writing the scripts for his videos and even designing the clothes he wears.
