Growing up on early blues and soul, he taught himself to sing by mimicking Muddy Waters, before discovering hip-hop. Starting out in music at age 15 as an MC with a local drum'n'bass crew, he progressed to hip-hop open-mike nights in nearby Brighton, where he later moved, teaming up with local hip-hop crew the Rum Committee. At the same time, he continued to practice singing in private. Aged 19, he took part in a blues open-mike night at the encouragement of his father, and the rapturous response to his singing boosted his confidence enough to make him consider it as a career rather than rapping. Graham's moniker came from his childhood memories of he and his grandfather watching repeats of the British '60s sitcom Steptoe and Son, about a pair of rag-and-bone men -- dirt-poor street collectors who in bygone days would go around gathering up rubbish in an attempt to find useful rags, bones, and scrap metal that could be sold to merchants for a few pennies. With his massive bulk, tattoo-covered arms, nose ring, shaved head, enormous beard, and typical garb of hoodie and jeans, Graham looked like an escapee from an early-2000s nu-metal band, but blew crowds away as soon as he opened his mouth with his deep, powerful, soulful, bluesy vocals. He released his debut EP, Bluestown, in 2012, followed by several EPs in the next few years, the highest profile of which were Wolves and Disfigured in 2015. His early releases were more acoustic, but evolved toward a more electronic sound with hip-hop-styled beats. In 2013, he signed a publishing deal with Warner Chappell, allowing him to give up his day job as a carer for people with Asperger's Syndrome. His increasing profile brought him to the attention of Columbia Records, who signed him in 2016. His debut single for Columbia, "Human," dropped in September of that year and was a big hit in several European countries, topping the charts in Germany. The single was taken from his debut album, which was scheduled for release the following year. - iTunes Top 100 Chart History 2016 02 Human -1- Social Media http://i.imgur.com/sx7weFD.png http://i.imgur.com/P4ObJLe.png http://i.imgur.com/TUafYW0.png http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx240/MarthaJonesFan/Discuss%20On%20Buzzjack.png

January 13, 20179 yr 'Castle On The Hill' is easily the better of these two songs but 'Shape Of You' is pretty good too. Hyped for the release of Ed's new album!
January 13, 20179 yr I can't see 'Castle On The Hill' swapping with 'Shape Of You' in popularity - not while they're top 2 anyway. I like the tune to 'Castle On The Hill' but lyrically we've heard it all before. So generic!
January 13, 20179 yr it's curious that besides the Manic Street Preachers back in 2001, no one has released 2 singles simultaneously going for #1 & 2
January 13, 20179 yr don't think they'll swap either Hill is good but the lyrics are too similar to 7 Years
January 13, 20179 yr Next week's contender? The Chainsmokers Paris - http://is2.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music111/v4/cf/d8/26/cfd82644-646c-53ec-6f4e-3719fa91dcdb/source/170x170bb.jpg Information Reining in the mayhem, the duo craft subdued vocal pop perfection. - iTunes Release date: 13-01-2017 Format: digital single Label: Disruptor Records/Columbia Records Chart sales: - Sales only chart peak: - Streaming only chart peak: - Video RhU9MZ98jxo Biography The Chainsmokers are an American DJ duo consisting of Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall.
