Jake Bugg

His real name is Jake Kennedy (Bugg is his father's name, which he borrowed for stage purposes). "It's just two syllables," he pointed out to Mojo magazine.

There is only one day's age difference between Jake Bugg and another singer-songwriter with the initials JB: Justin Bieber.

Bugg grew up in Clifton, Nottingham, once the largest housing estate in Europe. He told the Daily Telegraph that he spent his childhood "having a kickabout" with his friends. "There used to be a football court in Clifton," he said, "but the council took it away so the kids have got nothing to do. They're going to just make trouble, aren't they? That's what you do." Several of the songs on his debut Jake Bugg album such as "Seen It All" draw on his early experiences.
