What's On (Dubai)

THREE THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT EZRA

-

1. HE HAS WRITER’S BLOCK

“I’d set the alarm, wake up, go downstairs to write, nothing would come, then I’d just do pointless [stuff]. I’d clean the house. Every single day. I’d make up things to do.”

2. EZRA STAYED IN AN AIRBNB IN SPAIN OWNED BY A WOMAN NAMED TAMARA

“Then one day, she asked if I was on Spotify. I actually had to help her spell George Ezra. That would have been fine, but then she saw that Budapest had something like 300 million plays. She looked at me as if to say, ‘What the what?!’”

3. HE FOUND HIS VOICE AFTER LISTENING TO LEAD BELLY

“On the back of the record, it said ‘his voice was so big, you had to turn your record player down.’ I liked the idea of singing with a big voice, so I tried it, and I could.”
