Michael Kiwanuka

Today will be British hitmakers coming across the pond to entertain us at SXSW.  First up is the winner of the BBCs Sound of 2012.  He's being compared to Bill Withers and Otis Redding according to this BBC article.  His first album, produced by Dan Auerbach at Ray Davies' studios in London, comes out in the U.K. March 12th and later in the U.S.

He has a showcase at 12:30am at St. David's on Friday and a day show at the Convention Center (badges only).  I'm sure he'll be on a bill with Springsteen or some other huge act as well.  He's destined for stardom.

I also hear a little Clarence Greenwood in his voice.
