But it is his love of performing live, curiosity of his craft, command of his instruments and impressive vocal ability that has taken him around the world, racking up legions of loyal fansalong the way.Brand new single, ‘Alone’signifies a major life shift forthe Oxfordshire-born artist. After years living in the capital city, Rhys made the decision to step away from city life. On a little plot of land in the countrysidehe found comfort in simple loneliness. While the performer missed touring, and the thrill of the stage, it was here that Rhys had the space to redefine who he was as a musician and ever-growing creative, and discover his new sound. In contrast to its title, ‘Alone’is an optimistic song. Thisperfectly crafted pop gem sets mesmeric strings against Rhys’ soaring vocals, as he dreams of escape. With a phenomenal 620 million lifetime streams to date, the BBC Introducing favourite has seen 200 million streams for standout single, ‘No Right To Love You’, the very song that caught the attention of Decca Records.
