Connor Selby

Connor Selby, from Ashford, Kent, is regarded as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary British blues, combining a soulful, emotionally direct vocal style with expressive, tradition-rooted guitar playing (Source: connorselby.com). He was a three-time winner of the UK Blues Awards' "Young Artist of the Year" title from 2020 to 2022, before winning the 2025 "Traditional Blues Artist of the Year" award as an established adult artist (Source: australianmusician.com.au).\n\nHis self-titled 2023 debut album was named MOJO Magazine's Blues Album of the Year, a breakthrough that brought widespread critical acclaim, radio support and millions of streams. He has followed it with further releases including "The Truth Comes Out Eventually" (Source: connorselby.com; australianmusician.com.au). In 2024 he featured on Mark Knopfler's charity single "Going Home (Theme from Local Hero)" alongside a roster of major artists, has shared a stage with The Who at Wembley Stadium, appeared at London's Hyde Park Festival alongside Pearl Jam and Stereophonics, and has toured with Beth Hart, Robert Cray and Joanne Shaw Taylor (Source: australianmusician.com.au).

Musical Influence

Selby's progression from three-time "Young Artist of the Year" to MOJO's Blues Album of the Year and a place on Mark Knopfler's own charity single marks a rare, fully-formed transition from prodigy status to a genuinely traditional-blues-rooted adult career, at a moment when the UK Blues Awards themselves have begun recognising him under a "Traditional" rather than "Young" category.
