Fugative

Fugative (born Harry Byart, 12 April 1993, Essex, England) is a British Hip Hop, grime (music) and R&B artist whose music is all self-written and self-produced.[1] He was signed by Kirk Burrowes, the former manager of Mary J. Blige and co-founder of Bad Boy Records, after Burrowes was impressed upon hearing some of his material.[2]

Fugative has toured with Basshunter[3] and has been favourably received by BBC Radio One's Nick Grimshaw who proclaimed, 'This kid is the NUTS!' on his Switch radio show.[4]

His debut single, It's Summertime, peaked at Number Two in the UK Urban Chart before remaining in the top five for seventeen consecutive weeks[5]. This was followed by the release of Jimmy Shoe on 6 April 2009, whilst his latest offering, Supafly, reached Number 48 in the UK Singles chart.[6]
