Michael Kiwanuka is a British soul musician, born on May 3, 1987 in Muswell Hill, London. With his captivating voice and heartfelt lyrics, he has established himself as one of the most talented artists in the industry.
Born and raised in North London, Michael's passion for music began at an early age. Influenced by iconic artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Otis Redding, he developed a unique sound that blends elements of soul, folk, and rock.
Since bursting onto the scene with his debut album "Home Again" in 2012, Michael has garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. His soulful melodies and introspective songwriting have resonated with audiences worldwide.

Third Man Records was founded in 2001 by Jack White, Ben Swank, and Ben Blackwell in Detroit. In 2010, they established a physical location in Nashville, TN. The TMR building serves as the company headquarters and houses the label's offices, a vinyl record store, photo studio, dark room, and performance stage.
The label is best known for producing bands such as The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather. They have become synonymous with high-quality vinyl records and have created a strong presence in the music industry.
With their commitment to preserving the art of vinyl records and their dedication to supporting emerging artists, Third Man Records continues to be a driving force in the music e-commerce world.

Third Man Records is delighted to present Michael Kiwanuka's contribution to the TMR Blue Series of releases. Kiwanuka, a 25 year-old UK native of Ugandan heritage, was raised in north London where he split his time between session work and local gigs. Along the way, having found footing as a solo artist, he was signed to Communion Records, then Polydor, and has since performed throughout Europe and North America too - touring in direct support of Adele. He made his way through Nashville this past summer with just enough pause and aplomb to commit these morsels to tape. The A-side 'You've Got Nothing to Lose' is an original composition, featuring The Buzzards' Dominic Davis on upright bass and Cory Younts on piano, joined also by fellow balladeer Lillie Mae Rische on fiddle. Their contributions transform his work into a stone-cold groove with almost orchestral underpinnings, making it a fitting extension of their previous Blue Series. Produced by Jack White, the single also features a chilling rendition of Townes Van Zandt's infamous 'Waitin' 'Round to Die' on the B-side, the perfect compliment to the timbre and mood of the A-side.
