Release Notes:
Rhodes grew up in Hitchin where his father introduced him to the blues when he
was small most notably Robert Johnson. Soon after he began to play guitar and
his best friend's sister later turned him onto Nirvana, Blur and Oasis at which
point he took up piano. While at a local college, Rhodes regularly met other
musicians at Club 85. After moving to London, he joined a band as their bassist,
which quickly became a catalyst for songwriting. "It taught me a lot about
putting songs together," says Rhodes. "About rhythm and what gives a song its
backbone." However, singing came late to him. "I've been playing guitar since I
can remember but singing was something I was just too afraid to do." He's spent
the last 18 months quickly making up for lost time because it's his voice that
really defines Rhodes, setting him apart from everyone else. This was never more
apparent than on a recent Huw Stephens Radio 1 session when Rhodes performed an
incredible cover of Taylor Swift's 'Blank Space'. It was so good that Taylor
Swift re-tweeted the session. A brooding and melancholic collection of
self-written songs, debut album, 'Wishes' is refreshing in its stripped back
beauty, with Rhodes' haunting and unique vocals taking centre stage. The album
confirms the arrival of a major talent who has already been compared to artists
as diverse as Jeff Buckley and Adele, with a flair for writing songs that build
from something incredibly fragile to a hugely powerful climax. Nowhere is this
more evident than on new single 'Close Your Eyes'. Rhodes has travelled a long
way in a short time building on what has been a phenomenal beginning to a career
that promises longevity. He's supported Ben Howard, London Grammar, George Ezra
and Sam Smith while selling out his own shows including his biggest show to date
at London's Village Underground in March. With his eagerly anticipated debut
album 'Wishes' on the way in September, Rhodes will be taking the stunning
record on the road this autumn, including his biggest show to date at Koko
October 9th.
