Until Burberry Prorsum Spring 2015 prestigious fashion show I was blissfully unaware of the mysterious yet
incredibly alluring British singer, James Bay. His voice filled with raw passion
and superb vocal skills captivated the Burberry audience in London, attended
by the cult of fashion royalty including Kate
Moss and newcomer Cara
Delevingne.
He performed a collection of songs including: Clocks Go Forward, When We Were
on Fire and Scar. The Indie/Folk singer showcased his soulful,
guitar-based tracks exclusively at Burberry.
Burberry's Creative Director, Christopher Bailey, has been a huge supporter of new musical talent, regularly enthusing fashion and music at his shows. He unveiled the singing sensation, Tom Odell live during his Prorsum AW13 show. Bailey spoke candidly about his fondness of Odell after his show, "I was just obsessively listening to his music. And even if I was listening to something else, I was listening to something that might've been in the Tom world." He also featured the eccentric singer Paloma Faith in his AW14 show. It somehow seems like an appropriate location forJames Bay 's
unveiling to the world.
Music is as important to fashion as fashion is as important to music. The two work hand-in-hand, without one the other could essentially not survive. Who wants to watch a fashion show in silence? I mean it could be quite iconic to hear just the fierce, loud stomps of a beautiful fashion model cavorting down the catwalk.

The singer, from Hertfordshire, also has a strong signature look helping him stand out above the rest of hopeful, budding singers. James, donning a black trilby hat and always having a guitar intact proves fashion and music are a force to be reckoned with. His face, strongly chiselled, with chocolate coloured, shoulder length hair, he looks fresh off a SS15 season in Milan. Bay’s diligent efforts have finally come to fruition after years of busking on streets.
Bay has yet to release an album; however he released his EP, Dark of the Morning in 2013, with a second extended version, Let It Go, the following year. He's also previously supported pop's newest sensation, James Newman, the Irish Indie band, Kodaline and Tom Odell. After his recent exposure, I am sure he will soon be fully welcomed into the Great-British-bosom. Everyone wants to know who the trilby hat-wearing singer featured in the Burberry show is! His burgeoning career is soon to take off, watch this space!
