As a teenager, he was a surprisingly popular star athlete and record-breaking sprinter before moving to the University of Cambridge to study English literature. While at university, he transformed into an intense introvert, locking himself in his room for hours to master highly complex, custom acoustic guitar fingerpicking patterns. Discovered performing at a local club, he signed a major record deal at just twenty years old and chose to drop out of Cambridge to pursue music full-time. He went on to release three deeply poetic, beautifully crafted studio albums that were almost completely ignored by the public during his lifetime.
