Jack Garratt tops BBC Sound Of 2016

After a solid week of exposure from the BBC, that has seen them name Mura Masa, WSTRN, Blossoms, Nao and Alessia Cara named as part of their top 5, the winner of this year's BBC Sound Of poll is Jack Garratt.

Although many had thought he would bag it from the start, thanks to a flurry of incredibly unique tracks from him at the tail-end of last year, Garratt will certainly look to capitalise on the news as his debut album 'Phase' is due out next month.

Watch the video to his single 'Breathe Life' in the player below.
