LETS LEARN A LITTLE ABOUT HIM
George Ezra Barnett (born 7 June 1993) is an English singer, songwriter, and musician. After releasing two EPs, Did You Hear the Rain? in October 2013 and Cassy O' in March 2014, Ezra rose to prominence with the release of his hit single, "Budapest", which reached No. 1 in several countries. His debut studio album, Wanted on Voyage was released in June 2014, reaching No. 1 in the UK and the top ten in seven other countries. It was also the third best-selling album of 2014 in the UK.
His second studio album, Staying at Tamara's was released in March 2018, and reached No. 1 in the UK and the top ten in eight other countries. The second single from the album, "Paradise" reached No. 2 in the UK, while the next single "Shotgun" got to No. 1, becoming Ezra's first chart-topping song in the UK.

Musical style
Ezra cites Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie as his main musical influences. When the Gramophone Rings described him as having "a voice beyond his years", with "a soulful tone that somehow would feel more at home coming from an Alabama bar tender than a 21-year-old Bristolian." Zane Lowe, a former BBC Radio 1 DJ, called him "one of the most compelling and powerful new vocalists around." A youthful obsession with Dylan prompted Ezra to seek out earlier American folk and blues artists. "Out of curiosity, I went to find out who he had been listening to," he says. "That's when I found Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie and Howlin' Wolf.
