This week’s artist on the rise is the band known as Rixton. Rixton is a four member Pop, R&B, and Pop/Rock from Manchester. When the group first started their career some time in 2012 in England they were signed by Scooter Braun‘s SB Projects and were originally known as Relics. Members: Jake Roche, Charley Bagnall, Lewi Morgan, Danny Wilkin have been working together since 2013. This band originally started with Jake and Danny, later added to it was Charley and Lewi.
The band attracted attention with “
Make Out“, a song that involved the members lampooning famous 2013 music videos such as “
Stay” by
Rihanna, “
Wrecking Ball” by
Miley Cyrus” by
Katy Perry, and much more. Their video was released on October 22, 2013 but it was never released as an official single. Their official single debut, “
Me and My Broken Heart“, was released on March 14, 2014. This song has hit
Top 20 in the
Billboards in Australia, Sweden and the United States. “
Me and My Broken Heart” went gold May 27, 2014 and Rixton was awarded their first gold plaque on May 29, 2014 in New York City.
Their first extended play also titled “
Me and My Broken Heart” followed on March 18, 2014. An album is underway for release through
School Boy/Giant Little Man/Mad Love/Interscope Records later in 2014. These gentlemen have been working rigorously since they came together, and in the years from their
YouTube discovery they’ve been sensational. It’s safe to say that these artists have nothing but greatness to flaunt to the world.
