In December last year, former University of Wesminster student Michael Kiwanuka was nominated as one of MTV's 'Brand New for 2012' in their end of year poll. Now, he's done one better, and topped the 'BBC Sound Of 2012' list.
The 24 year old soul singer/songwriter, and fellow 'Commercial Music Performance' student, beat hundreds of other candidates to the top spot of one of the most promising and accurate predictive polls within the music industry. The list has succesfully predicted some of the most famous names to flourish within the industry; Adele, Mumford and Sons, Florence and the Machine to name but a few.
Admittedly, there are some names listed who wont deliver to expectations, but most do, and I hope that this is the case for Michael. Another successful alumnus from the University of Westminster! ...and who knows, maybe some fellow course-friends of my own will find the same success in the not-so-distant future.... a cheer for Bmus Commercial Music Performance!
Have a listen to Michael's new single 'Home Again' =) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ4s3G7hgR4
Good Note: Any recording artist who has topped the 'BBC sound of...' list has gone on to great success!
Bad Note: Will we still be here at the end of 2012....?
