Sam Smith has had no trouble handling the pressure associated with winning the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ’s Sound Of 2014 poll. With previous winners including Adele and Ellie Goulding, the heat was on the 21-year old... not that you could tell.
After topping the charts as a guest singer for Disclosure and Naughty Boy in 2013, Smith has repeated the feat as a solo artist, claiming the singles top spot for Stay With Me and a No.1 album with In The Lonely Hour - the fastest selling debut of 2014.
As his showing at Radio 1’s Big Weekend illustrated, Smith has plenty of strings to his bow, possessing the ability to flip between soulful ballads and up-tempo party starters including the falsetto fun of Money On My Mind.
