The London-based singer
Ed Thomas first came to prominence following his 2013 collaborations with
Bondax ("Giving It All") and
Chase & Status ("Blk & Blu"). Having previously worked with dubstep acts such as
Submotion Orchestra,
Author, and Planas in 2011 and 2012, the silky vocal skills of
Thomas were reminiscent of his peers such as
John Newman and
Sam Smith. Drawing inspiration from '80s funk and R&B as well as pop and the softer fringes of house music, he released his debut EP
Outlaws in early 2014 and the single "On My Own" shortly afterward. ~ Aneet Nijjar
