SINGER songwriter Ady Suleiman may be relatively new on the scene, but he is already attracting global attention.
From BBC Radio airplay to US chart topper Chance the Rapper, it seems everyone is tipping the R&B star for success.
Fresh off his second UK headline tour and supporting Leon Bridges across Europe, Ady hit up Glastonbury for an intimate set in the festival's EE Garden.
Watched by a host of celebs including Sophie Ellis Bextor, Jack Whitehall and Game of Thrones star Iwan Rheon, the Nottingham based lad put on an impressive set – showcasing his raw talent.
Since the age of 14, Ady has been working hard to carve himself out a successful music career, writing and performing his own material around the globe.
In fact, even during his boozy university days, the now 22-year-old continued to pursue his dream – turing life events into a string of tracks.
Chatting to Daily Star Online about his writing process, the Nottingham lad explained: "I never think I am too sexual but I guess that is because I did a lot of my song writing when I was 18 or 19 and I was at uni.
"A lot of my cheekier tracks were from when I was having a good time and stuff if you catch my drift, so naturally I was going to write about what was going on in my life.
"But that being said I'm not as explicit as the likes of The Weeknd and Drake.
"To be honest, sometimes when I cover their tracks I feel uncomfortable as the language they use different to what I would use in my day to day life.
"At the end of the day I never really want to be offensive in my music."
Unlike many in today's music industry, Ady is keen to work from the bottom to gain a muisc career – opting for hard graft and dedication over quick reality TV success.
When asked if he ever considered turning to a talent show to make it, he replied: "I would only do X Factor if I was burned out, as one last chance kind of thing.
"You can go from zero to hero over night but for me I'm not fussed about fame.
"I enjoy doing it the standard away and learning from the grass routes.
"A lot of people on TV shows are talented but they just vanish.
"Normally to get longevity in any career you have to work hard at it."
Over the course of the iconic festival EE treated a host of showbiz names to the ultimate VIP treatment in their secret garden hangout.
As well as enjoying live gigs from a host of stars including Newton Faulkner and The Feeling, celebs in the 4G connected area also sipped on Prosecco Bellinis and enjoyed an array of burgers and savoury crepes at an EE Garden brunch.
