Liam Bailey Talks Depression, His New Single and Touring with Paloma Faith
Tue 10 Jul 2018Liam Bailey is a singer-songwriter from Nottingham, loved for his jazz and blues-style sound. Best known for his collaborations with DJ Fresh and Chase & Status, his reggae undertones have seen him dubbed as the young Bob Marley. But with over a decade of musical endeavours under his belt, this guy’s sound is as varied as they come.
Things are heating up once again for Liam. With a host of new music, collaborations and tours with Paloma Faith coming up, his diary is jam-packed. After we managed to wake him up from his McDonalds-induced nap, we caught up with Liam ahead of the release of his newest single.
