A year that saw the artist score 6Music playlisting for his single ‘Do You Really’ (also regularly supported across 1 Xtra, Radio 1 and Beats), sell out London’s Village Underground with man-of-the-moment Thundercat in attendance, and make debut appearances in the US with shows as part of BBC’s Winterjazz Fest and a headline at New York’s esteemed Blue Note. Having joined Kokoroko’s line-up (Oscar wrote the seven-and-a-half-million-YouTube-streams single, ‘Abusey Junction’) and just collaborated with producer Catching Flies on the single ‘New Gods’ (tipped by 1 Xtra & 6Music too), After winding up 2018 with a debut headline run the US, Oscar will be returning to The States in March for his debut appearance at SXSW, with the support from PRS Foundation, having released his latest single ‘Misty Head / Sunny Street’ and much more in the pipe line for the year ahead.
