Sixteen year old Harry Byart first exploded into the charts with the debut single It’s Summertime, reaching the top five of the Urban chart where it stayed for 17 weeks. His follow up Jimmy Shoe made him a YouTube phenomenon and his recent underground release Supafly have seen him notch up over 3 million views on the video social media site.
Better known as Fugative, Byart is back with his latest single Crush, which is released on May 10th through Hard2Beat Records.
Having led the way with his very own genre defying style of ‘hip-pop’ – Hip Hop with a pop twist Fugative has proven his worth as one of the hottest young producers, songwriters and instrumentalists in the game.
So it comes as no surprise that he has teamed up with US heavy-weight hip hop/R&B producer Younglord who’s chart topping productions include P.Diddy’s come back single ‘Come to Me’ featuring head Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and hits for Beyoncé, Lil Kim, G-Unit, Mary J Blige, Mariah Carey and DMX.
With U.S management interest from Kirk Burrowes who founded legendary Bad Boy Records with P-Diddy, Fugative is already a player in the big game and has been travelling back and forth between London and Atlanta where he has been recording new material for his debut album due to drop later this year. As well as working with Younglord, Fugative has been in the studio with 88 Keyz (Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Ne-Yo, Kanye West), Dirty Bird (Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne), Cutfather (Jordan Sparks, Pixie Lott) and Soulshock & Karlin (JLS, Cheryl Cole).
Fugative supported Basshunter on his UK tour in 2009 to then perform on a sell out 40 date headline tour before Christmas last year notching up an impressive 160 gigs in the last 18 months.
