Stormzy Bio – 2018 Update
Born in London, England, Stormzy worked at an oil refinery for a few years prior to pursuing music full-time. After garnering attention in the underground music scene, he self-released the EP, Dreamers Disease in 2014 (he had dropped a mixtape a year prior). Soon afterward, he received his first industry award- a MOBO Award for Best Grime Act. Continuing to rise to prominence, he eventually dropped two singles, Know Me From and WickedSkengMan 4 the following year, both of which charted in his native UK. Around that same time, he also collaborated with Lethal Bizzle on the hit song, Dude, which soared to number 49 on the UK Singles Chart. In terms of full-length projects, he recently released his debut album, Gang Signs & Prayer on February 24, 2017.
A chart topper in the US, it gave rise to his platinum track, Big for Your Boots, which led to a peak in his popularity. A few other highlights from the album include First Things First, Mr. Skeng, 100 Bags, Return of the Rucksack, and Blinded By Your Grace Pt. 1. To promote the release, Stormzy had hit up a number of cities across the world for his 2017 concert tour. His latest performance was held at the Ushuaia venue in Ibiza, Spain. From what we can see, the artist has another show booked prior to the end of the year in New Zealand. As expected from such a talent, he has pulled in a number of accolades this year including a BET Award for Best International Act.
