Jake Bugg has been in and out of the spotlight since he burst onto the scene as a teenager. He has released four albums since then, as well as winning NME and Q Awards for his work. The young star will appear on the Graham Norton Show on BBC tonight, and Express.co.uk has all you need to know about the singer.

How old is Jake Bugg?

Jake Bugg was born on February 28, 1994, making him 26-years-old.

He was born in Nottingham and grew up on the Clifton council estate, where he started playing guitar at a young age.

At age 16, he was chosen to perform at Glastonbury on the BBC Introducing stage after sending samples of his music to them online.

This performance saw him signed by Mercury Records and by 2012, when he was just 17-years-old, he had released his first album, Jake Bugg.

The album went straight to Number One in the UK and has sold almost 750,000 copies, meaning it has gone double platinum.

His career continued to go from strength to strength, as after his album release he served as the support act for Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds at the Belsonic Music Festival in Belfast.

The young performer began working with Johnny Cash collaborator Rick Rubin, alongside his previous songwriting partner Iain Archer and released his second album, Shangri-La.

Despite mixed reviews, Shangri-La went to Number Three in the UK album chart and has been certified gold.

The same year, in 2013, he performed on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, having moved between the introducing stage to the main stage very quickly.

He performed at a great many festivals in 2013 before taking some time away from the spotlight, releasing free tracks over the intervening years.

In 2016 he came back with his third album, On My One, which went to Number Four in the UK album chart.

Speaking about the change in his music for this album, he said: “In a lot of ways, it sums up this record because it mainly has been me on my own.

“I saw this as the logical next step in my development as a songwriter. It was a challenge but something I felt I had to do.”

In 2017 he changed direction once again and released a mainly acoustic album, Hearts That Strain, which went to Number Seven in the charts.

Like On My One, Jake wrote all of the songs alone, this time not collaborating with other songwriters.

In 2018, he signed with a new record label, RCA, but went on a hiatus for a year before returning in 2019 with new music.

His website reads: “Jake Bugg is currently working on his fifth studio album.

“He has recently released new music after a year’s hiatus, with the first being a feature with CamelPhats ‘Be Someone’ followed up with his own track ‘Kiss Like The Sun’ which was released in mid November 2019.”

Jake did not release any new music in 2020, but his appearance on The Graham Norton Show may showcase some of the new music he has worked on since Kiss Like the Sun.
