Michael Kiwanuka

Winning the BBC Sound of 2012 poll has yet to do for Michael Kiwanuka's career what it did for previous winners like Adele and Jessie J, but there's no disputing the quality of his songwriting: an old-fashioned brand of soul in the tradition of Otis Redding and Bill Withers. If that sounds like your thing, don't miss the Uganda-born singer's one-night engagement at Billboard Live.
