Liam Bailey

Known for co-writing Chase & Status' Top 5 smash: "Blind Faith feat. Liam Bailey," Liam's initial introduction to the music business came via the late Amy Winehouse who, after meeting him released his first 2 EPs on her Lioness Records imprint. Amy first heard Liam's music through a mutual friend and acclaimed producer Salaam Remi, who amongst others, is working with Liam on his debut album. Recorded late at night in typically raw fashion, the EPs: "So Down, Cold" and "2AM Rough Tracks" are an enthralling window into Liam's heart and mind.

Born in Nottingham to a Jamaican father and British mother Liam's roots spread far and wide, with an even wider range of musical influences, from soul to reggae, punk to R&B and everything in between (he's as likely to reference Etta James as he is The Smiths). Liam is a charismatic personality seamlessly treading that line between Liam Gallagher confidence and a more introverted, contemplative side, which fuels his song writing.

Listening to Liam Bailey, you'd be forgiven for thinking that here's someone who's lived more than just a little bit, that here's someone who sounds like they're a true soul singer of the old-fashioned (and best-possible) kind... You might well find yourself saying to yourself that you didn't think they made them like this any more. And then, after the music finishes -- once the needle is lifted clear, as you might imagine it -- you'll surely wonder: well, who is he then?

After sending DJ Jason Kramer two demos just before Christmas, Liam was immediately featured as their "Artist You Should Know."

Liam's single "When Will They Learn" received a stamp of approval from influential radio station KCRW in Los Angeles, accredited as having broken Coldplay, Dido, Norah Jones amongst others. Whilst Liam can currently be heard on UK radio featuring on fellow Chase & Status collaborator's single: "Breathe feat. Liam Bailey."
