I stumbled upon Gotye’s ‘Somebody That I Use To Know’ in the infancy stage, before it blew up. Five years later, I’ve come across London artist Ben Hobb’s “Wishful Thinking” and it could follow the same path to success.

Hobbs who dubs himself a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer released his debut album “Sweet Enough”, which has clocked 450k+ Spotify streams receiving praise from BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio and music blogs.

Hobbs will perform his first London show at Servant Jazz Quarters on May 11th.

He has the talent, and with some luck and timing, we could hear a lot about Hobbs very soon, his Bradley Cooper looks doesn’t hurt either.
