Rag'n'Bone man, real name Rory Graham, is known for his modern take on blues music.

He started out as an MC with a drum'n'bass crew at just 15 before going solo with a series of open mic nights in Brighton.

He was still pursuing hip hop at this stage, but was persuaded by his father to try a blues open mic night when he was 19.

The approving applause from the audience was enough to persuade Rory that this was the genre for him.

He has since released a series of successful singles, with his tracks spending a total of 68 weeks in the Top 40 and 27 weeks in the Top 10.

His song, Giant, which he released alongside Scottish DJ Calvin Harris, was the most played song on UK radio stations in 2019.
