The 20-year-old began recording in 2005 and broke through with performances at Glastonbury 2011 on the BBC Introducing Stage alongside sets at festivals including The Great Escape, Lovebox, Latitude, Reading and Leeds Festivals and both Bestival events this summer.

It's right next to the beach, and as well as featuring a competition for the wakeboard title, there are live bands and DJ's to entertain, making for three days of sporting and live music action.
