Haven't heard much of his stuff even though he's a local Edinburgh boy
but what I have heard has been absolutely superb. He's Tricky's uncle
(although he's only in his early twenties), previously worked with A
Guy Called Gerald, does reggae influenced tracks and has an amazing
voice. Check out his single 'Sunday Shining' (a semi-cover of an old
Bob Marley track) that was out a couple of months ago and hear the
most uplifting pop song for years - guaranteed to put you in a good
mood no matter how you're feeling. He's getting a lot of hype at the
moment but for once its totally deserved.

Colin.
