Born and raised in the North East of England, British musician Antonio Lulic's soulful and passionate performances have earned him comparisons to Bruce Springsteen and Mumford & Sons.

Known for his intimate shows, relying solely on his voice and guitar, his highly emotive and uplifting lyrics have seen him labelled 'a simply incredible songwriter’ by Radio 1 DJ Thomas Coxhead. But, proving he's not just a man with an instrument, Lulic has taken a very different approach to his third EP, Sons (released March 2015), moving away from solo guitar performances to songs with a full band accompaniment. The Sunderland lad supported Ed Sheeran during the South America leg of his most recent tour - having previously supported the singer/songwriter in both 2011 and 2013 as well - and he has subsequently spent the summer supporting British alternative two-piece Nizlopi.
