In 2019 he headlined Glastonbury festival for the first time wearing a Union Jack vest created by famous artist Banksy. He performed a full set of all his hits and was joined on stage by Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin for an unforgettable music moment.
Our Favourite Songs
We are loving Stormzy’s song ‘Own It, a collaboration with Ed Sheeran. It’s the perfect song to accompany any mood. Turn it up in the car, blast it in the shower or play it while you exercise.
Stormzy and Ed’s friendship spans many years with the two of them putting together an iconic performance of ‘Shape Of You’ at the 2017 Brit Awards and the Capital FM studios.
Make sure you listen to ‘First Things First’ from his Gang Signs & Prayer album. He addressed all his feelings associated with the music industry and let loose for his number one album.
‘Blinded By Your Grace’ is a favourite. It has a mellow vibe with a message of love. The song is the ultimate mood enhancer if you’re feeling a little down and just need some encouragement.
Honorable mention to ‘Vossi Bop’ – it’s a bop!
