James Bay hails from Hitchin. Can't blame you if you've never heard of the little town north of London, but maybe the 23-year-old singer-songwriter can help put it on the map. He got signed to a major label, Republic Records, after they spotted a fan's iPhone video shot at a local pub on YouTube and flew him to New York. "Hold Back the River" is off his latest EP and the track was just picked earlier this week as BBC Radio 1's "Track of the Day." Check out his great cover version of Haim's "Forever" too.
