The 22-Year -old has live translated to chart success in October, with a EP for his fans, The youth, it is estimated, reached the UK Top 10 (a week earlier, and the chart position would be for the Sound of 2020).
But rises with the star at such a rapid speed, has Yungblud - whose real name is Dominic Harrison - even such recognition?
"I don't really know how to do it, man," he tells us, " down The Line from Los Angeles just before Christmas. "We were so surprised, [name], I could not believe what had happened. "
In fact, The Singer seems surprised That his songs, tackling topics such as fear, sexual violence, and the greed, always mainstream acceptance.
"Someone came up to me at some industry event, and The Other to the right, and goes, 'What's The Secret ? What's The Formula ?'

He adds: "I have to get up every day and everything I do, how the talk to hear about the People and things, and you talk back to me. This is the only thing I can explain.
"I think, looking at charts and things, it's kind of a bit irrelevant to me. I'm not arsed about the fact That People will go, 'Oh Yungblud , he had a couple of Good songs, has he?'/p>
"When People look back on us in 10 years, I would like to you like," they were a movement, and you did something That was completely original and a liberation of the People '. "
'not to deny fanbases'Yungblud is The Grandson of Rick Harrison , who played with T-Rex in the 1970s, but his sights are on hymns and speak of his own generation; die-cut from the "sterile material", what he brands as the "X-factor age".
The ambitious young showmen was already described, and a live performer - who is the massive beam of power. He's also recently opened up about his and how
And while the London-based Doncastrian finds inspiration in the collective rebellion of the early '90s Seattle grunge scene, thanks to bands like Nirvana and Soundgarden, he hopes to replicate the recent successes of his US contemporaries.

What was your first reaction when you heard you had The Class of 2020?
"What's going on now? I am I saw an artist [2015 runner-up James Bay , as he hit in the UK, and it is simply a kind of intellectual, the strong one. hard work as an artist and create a culture. My head was traveling down to my fan base, my community, The World , and I never really have a view over the water. And if you lift your head above the water for a minute and look around and go, "We have only played to a sold out Brixton Academy and we are on the tone of the list", it's like, "What? !" the fans are clearly Central to everything they do. What is it That you say you want? Everyone wants to be loved, exactly for who you are, and not something That you will need. People who don't want to fit the shapes are manipulated into boxes, because it's just uncomfortable. you can see this kind of thing? Absolutely. The Most important thing is, the stories That I Hear , is for me. For example, a girl comes up to me in Nijmegen, Holland, and gives me a note That says - "I dropped out of school, ran away from home and shaved my head, And Then went to Art School and now I'm a Graphic Designer , thanks to a girl I met on one of their shows, the speech in the community." I see two guys from Bristol snog in front of the mosh-pit, which she swallows. And I'm talking here of a 35-Year -old buddy in Glasgow, lost his wife and child in The Last Year , and he used to listen to music in The Car and for some reason, it makes him sad, he takes him back to a place when things were in order. For me, man, this is real and this is what we are here for. It is not me, man, we are it. And if it is faulty ever [just about] everything on me. Last Year , their EP went to Number Six in The Album charts, she toured The World , played at festivals such as Reading + Leeds , and she also had a famous pop-star girlfriend [American singer Halsey]. The life of rock 'n' roll star had meant to be, how you? I have so much to do, in The Past Year , and the next album is about all of these things. We blew up about The World , I fell in love and fell out of love. I almost my mother lost, and I'm really excited about something, and I came out, but when I look back on The Last Year . I wrote a song called night, A Strange time in life, and it is on the plate. It was a strange time of life, but The Most beautiful time in life and I would not change it also. Yungblud is a coming-of-age thing, but you will grow Until You have your eyes closed for Good . Recently, they have, which gave us an insight into their varied influences, they dig up The Most at the Moment? I think Travis Scott is as relevant to the rock-and-roll music such as Marilyn Manson is. It's just a different kind of music. Rock and roll ain ' T four idiots hammering the hell out of their instruments. Rock and roll means freedom for me - and someone like Travis Scott is pouring gasoline on The Fire That already in Young People the abdomen. I got to this point in life, where People try to pitch my songs and it is so funny, a songwriter-version of what you think is Yungblud and it's all rock and headstrong, and I'm like, "no, I gained left behind", I have to now. It is much more emotional. But, there are some psychological cooperations []. I love the collaboration - it knock in the cultures That I would never do normally. So, you have told us what their fans want, but what do you want by 2020? The Best songs I have ever written, will come, and we are Five Nights in the [London] Kentish Town Forum. I'm just building, where he is to be a fan in a time when it the faith People , it's not OK to be who you are. And I don't want to feel That man was, how I felt like That . follow us on or on Twitter. If you have E a story That proposal-Mail. Source of news: bbc.com
