George Ezra (born 7 June 1993) is an English singer-songwriter. After releasing two EPs––Did You Hear the Rain? in October 2013 and Cassy O' in March 2014––Ezra rose to prominence with the release of his hit single “Budapest”, which reached the top ten in numerous countries around the world, reaching number one in Austria, New Zealand and the Czech Republic.
Ezra’s debut studio album Wanted on Voyage was released on 30 June 2014 and reached number one in the UK and the top ten in seven other countries. It was also the third best-selling album of 2014 in the UK. Zane Lowe, a DJ on BBC’s Radio One, called him “one of the most compelling and powerful new vocalists around.”
In 2017, Ezra released a single “Don’t Matter Now”, a fun song, going in a different direction. His long-awaited sophomore album Staying at Tamara’s was released on March 23, 2018. The album includes the singles “Paradise” and “Shotgun,” which peaked at #2 and #1 on the UK Singles Chart, respectively. Interestingly, the latter was a last-minute addition to the record.
