Nasir Jones As Mr. Books

Michael Kiwanuka debuted to acclaim with his acoustic sound and timelessly soulful voice that fused folk, indie rock, and R&B with styles borrowed from his Ugandan heritage. Kiwanuka won a Mercury Prize nomination for his debut album, Home Again, and the 2012 BBC's Sound. His debut release, Love & Hate in 2016, which went platinum, finishing at number one in the UK, further cemented his image as a talented, rootsy artist. Kiwanuka has also studied jazz at the Royal Academy of Music and pop music at Westminster University.

Mumford & Sons' Communion label signed Kiwanukha to their label in 2011. He has released two EPs and supported Adele on her U.K. tour leading to be discovered by Bees' Paul Butler, who invited him to record at his Isle of Wight studio. In 2012, he finished third behind Emeli Sandé and Maverick Sabre on the Brits Critics Choice short list. Shortly thereafter, he released his debut single and album, both titled Home Again. It peaked at number four in the U.K. Kiwanuka returned to the studio in 2015 & released Love & Hate in the summer of 2016. In 2019, he issued the single ‘Money’ with Tom Misch.
