Stone Cold Classic - AKA George

LCM #SongOfTheDay: ‘Stone Cold Classic’ - AKA George

For the next few days we are going to be featuring some of the many excellent artists at this year’s Music Makers Festival in London. First up is London based multi-instrumentalist AKA George. We really love ‘Stone Cold Classic’, a catchy pop gem rooted in classic rock rebellion. With a full band It really reminded us live of the great and sadly missed INXS,. The song has also been featured on a recent Skoda ad.

AKA George currently has 30 million+ YouTube views and is forging his own way in the indie music world after turning down a couple of record companies already.

It all began after uploading a cover of Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky' to the internet, which he mainly did it to amuse his friends. Tens of millions of views later, Pharrell Williams gave his nod of approval calling him a ‘genius’, sparking a major label scrum in the process. But then he took a step back. Wanting to retain his independence, AKA George vowed to move ahead on his own.

Going places fast we think AKA George could be one to watch……..
