Artist Bio

Singer and song writer Rory Graham is better known by his stage name Rag N Bone Man. Coming out of Uckfield near Brighton, he has been impressing everyone with the very best banging beats with even better yet to come.

Rag ‘N’ Bone Man has been a prolific underground name for a couple of years now, honing a ferocious live reputation through guitar wielding solo performances, as the resident vocalist of rap's Rum Committee, and now through his first release through independent label ‘Best Laid Plans’: Wolves. And, like many things, it began with the blues. Having discovered the genre as a child, the rhythmic troubles that rang out from his parents' record player planted a stubborn seed in this kid's head and it wasn't long before the youngster was venturing through classic realms of soul, jazz and folk.

By the age of 15 Graham was an MC in a drum and bass crew under the name Rag N Bonez. Regularly attending hip hop nights around Brighton where he would sharpen his rap skills, he then set his sights on London. Once in the capital he hooked up with Gizmo and DJ Direct to form The Rum Committee. They would soon play support for such big names as KRS-One and Pharoahe Monch.

In 2011 Graham began working with Hip Hop label High Focus with whom he began making releases. This led to a collaboration with producer Mark Crew which led to a publishing deal with Warner Chappell. In 2014 he released the Wolves EP which featured the likes of Kate Tempest, Vince Staples and Stig Of The Dump. The following year he released second EP Disfigured which featured the track Bitter End - made popular after being added to the BBC Radio 1 Xtra playlist.

His latest release is new single Human. Out now through Columbia Records.

Graham has also worked as a singer, and has released a blues jam vocal EP named Blues Town.
