“I started singing before I started talking. My parents told me that I started singing before I could even talk,” he said.

He further added, “I sang faster than catching up with talks. That was what my parents told me. I feel like that was where it [my talent] all started from.”

Oxlade gained recognition after the release of his song “Away,” which was included in Rolling Stone’s 50 Best Songs of 2020.
