Rag'n'Bone Man is Rory Charles Graham, born on 29 January 1985 and from Uckfield, and the first thing anybody notices is that voice: a deep, gravelly baritone that sounds like it's been soaking in old blues and soul records since birth. "Human" was his breakthrough, released as a single in 2016, and the album of the same name followed in 2017, a big, stirring record that fuses church-hall soul with modern pop production.

That album became the quickest-selling debut by a male artist in the UK that decade and has since gone 4× Platinum. At the 2017 Brit Awards he won both British Breakthrough Act and the Critics' Choice Award, and the next year "Human" took the Brit for Best British Single. The title track is a thundering, gospel-tinged plea, and it traveled, too: in 2017 he picked up an NRJ Music Award for International Revelation of the Year.

He's since hit the road for headline shows and festivals, and teamed up with artists as far apart as Bugzy Malone, Logic and Calvin Harris. His second album, Life by Misadventure, landed in May 2021, debuted at the top of the UK albums list and stayed inside the top 10 for seven weeks.
