American born Raury may only be 18 years old, but he's set to make waves in the industry after being backed by the likes of Kanye West, André 3000 and critics at the New York Times.

Raised in Stone Mountain, a suburb of Atlanta, the singer was so desperate to become a musician, he taught himself guitar at the age of 11 by watching YouTube videos and performed in car parks ahead of other artist's gigs (including Childish Gambino and Tyler, The Creator). Since his self-released debut album in the summer of 2014, Raury has recorded tracks with Danger Mouse, had a breakfast meeting with Kanye West, worked with Lorde, was shortlisted for the BBC Sound of 2015 and supported Outkast - and is now set to take the UK by storm by performing at east London festival Lovebox with the likes of Snoop Dogg and Mark Ronson.
