In the spirit of music discovery which guides WFUV, our DJs offer their favorite new artists on the cusp of making it to the next level.
At 24, U.K. artist, producer, and songwriter Jack Garratt has already been writing songs for over a decade, building from a musical foundation of jazz that evolved into soulful electronica.
He began gaining massive attention last year for his moody ballad "Worry" and a pair of critically hailed EPs. Now, he's set to release his major label debut, Phase, this February on the heels of winning the BBC's Sound of 2016 poll and the BRITs Critics' Choice award.
Jack is now headed out with his pals, Mumford & Sons, likely the last opening gig he'll have.
