He's over six foot tall, built like an ox, and has the words funk and soul tattooed across his knuckles, so it's fair to say that Rag 'N' Bone Man may not look like your typical blues singer. He discovered the genre as a child thanks to his father's record collection, and after briefly trying his hand at rapping, he became the vocalist for Brighton Hip Hop crew Rum Committee. Eventually he turned his efforts to focusing on his own projects, which produced the 9 track offering, Wolves - a eruptive mixture of Hip Hop, electronic and soul, and cemented Rag 'N' Bone's sound as one that perfects an artistic dualism of old and new.
