イギリスのシンガーソングライター。
住所不定だった孤高のシンガー・ソングライターが、「たった1枚のアルバムで世界へ羽ばたいた」と評される天才。

2013年、映画『ホビット 竜に奪われた王国』のエンド・クレジットに書き下ろし曲『I See Fire（英語版）』が使用された。

2014年リリースのアルバム「x（マルティプライ）」は、イギリス・アメリカともにアルバム・チャートで初登場1位を獲得。イギリスではプラチナ・ディスクに認定された。

『The A Team』や『Lego House』だけしか知らない人がこの曲を聴くと、驚いたり、あるいは多少たじろいだりするかもしれません。
私も驚きましたが、こちらが本来の彼なのかも。

攻撃的でちょっと問題発言っぽい歌詞ではありますが、それでも圧倒的な迫力があります。
「多才」という形容詞は彼のためにあるのかもしれません。

Now I’m in town,
Break it down, thinking of making a new sound
Playing a different show every night in front of a new crowd
That’s you now,
ciao, seems that life is great now
See me lose focus, as I sing to you loud
And I ca’t, no, I won’t hush
I’ll say the words that make you blush
I’m gonna sing this now

See, I’m true, my songs are where my heart is
I’m like glue, I stick to other artists
I’m not you, now that would be disastrous
Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures
See, I’m real, I do it all, it’s all me
I’m not fake, don’t ever call me lazy
I won’t stay put, give me the chance to be free
Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me

‘Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you at all
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you at all
You need me

I sing and write my own tune
And I write my own verse? Hell
Don’t need another word-smith to make my tune sell?
Call yourself a singer-writer. You’re just bluffing
Your name’s on the credits and you didn’t write nothing
I sing fast, I know that all my shit’s cool
I will blast and I didn’t go to Brit School
I came fast with the way I act, right
I can’t last if I’m smoking on a crack pipe

And I won’t be a product of my genre
My mind will always be stronger than my songs are
Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya
Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia
And musically I’m demonstrating
When I perform live, feels like I am meditating
Times at The Enterprise when some fella filmed me
‘A young singer-writer like Gabriella Cilmi’
(*repeat 2times)
Cause you need me, man,
You need me, man,
‘Cause you need me, man,
You need me, man,

(*repeat 2 times)

With the lyrics I’ll be aiming it right,
I won’t stop till’ my names in lights,
At stadium heights,
with Damien Rice, on red carpets
Now I’m on Arabian nights,
Because I’m young, and I know my brothers’ gonna give me advice.
Long nighter, short height and I’ve gone hyper
Never be anything but a singer-songwriter
The games over but now I’m on a new level
Watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal
People think that I’m bound to blow up
I’ve done around about a thousand shows
But I haven’t got a house plus I live on the couch
So you can be the lyrics when I’m singing them out
(wow)
From day one, I’ve been prepared
With vo5 wax for my ginger hair
So now I’m back to the sofa giving a dose of what the future holds
Cause it’s another day
Plus I’ll keep my last name forever keep the genre pretty basic
Gonna be breaking into other people’s tunes when I chase it
And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift
Into another rappers shoes using new laces
Selling cds from my rucksack aiming for the papers
Selling cds from my rucksack aiming for majors
Nationwide til’ we’re just jack, soon as I get the bus back
Clean cut kid without a razor for the moustache
I hit back when the pen hurts me
I’m still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee
I’m still the same as a year ago
But more people hear me though
According to the myspace and youtube videos
I’m always doing shows, if I’m not I’m in the studio
Truly broke, never growing up call me *Ruffio
Melody music maker
Reading all the papers
They say I’m up and coming like im f*cking in an elevator
(*repeat)
