Background
Brewer was born in East London in 1989 but lived in Essex during his time at the University of Essex, where he studied history, and now operates out of a studio in Brick Lane.[2] He was previously employed as a youth worker.[3]
Brewer has released four EPs in collaboration with The Confect; 2010's Alone With My Thoughts, 2011's Alone With My Thoughts Part 2, 2013's Flat 10 and 2014's 4 Miles Further, the latter taking its name from the movement of The Confect's home studios to their new set up in Brick Lane.[2] His 2014 single, "Fall From Here", featured Naomi Scott.[4]
His 2015 single, "Talk to Me", was written by Brewer and Bibi Bourelly. The song samples "Gypsy Woman" by Crystal Waters.[5] In an interview, Brewer said that Bourelly was invited into the studio after he found out through a mutual friend that she was in town writing for Ellie Goulding.[6] The song charted at #19 on the UK Singles Chart[7] and was later certified Silver by BPI in 2022.[8]
Outside of music, Brewer is passionate about contributing to social change; one example is in him serving as a patron for UK charity Anxiety UK.[9] Brewer is Christian.[10][11]
