Maverick

London born, Irish raised singer songwriter Maverick Sabre has his name ringing round the world right now and rightly so. First championed by BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra’s MistaJam as one of his “Ones to Watch for 2011”, and subsequently described by BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens as the “male Amy Winehouse”, Maverick Sabre’s gritty yet soulful voice is drawing audiences in and leaving them hooked. From Hackney to Wexford and back again, Maverick has silenced crowds with his catchy lamenting social-political content. Just out of his teens, this young rising star is generating a huge buzz and has been tipped by Hot Press as the Irish newcomer who will give the established artists serious competition. His forthcoming single Let Me Go out on 25th July 2011 has been playlisted on all the UK’s top Radio Stations including Radio 1, Kiss, Xfm and Capital. The music video for the single hit well over 1 million views in under 3 weeks and has left people impatiently waiting for the debut album, due for release this October on Mercury Records. As well as writing material with the hottest producers and laying strong foundations for what is sure to be a hugely successful future, Maverick has been featured on Later With Jools Holland, live on BBC2 from Glastonbury Festival, collaborated with Professor Green on the club smash Jungle (NME Award for Best Dance-floor Filler) and with Chase & Status on Fire In Your Eyes Again. It was no surprise that Sabre’s debut EP reached number 2 in the iTunes charts and has set high expectations for his album. Rapidly rising from strength to strength, Maverick has been busy touring alongside chart toppers Plan B, Cee Lo Green, Snoop Dogg and The Script as well as collaborators Chase & Status. The summer of 2011 has been sizzling for Maverick who recently signed to premier booking agency William Morris who have packed the British festival circuit full with a healthy dose of this young protégé. Maverick Sabre is preparing for his debut headline UK tour this October and he can been seen at all the major UK festivals. Most definitely one to watch.
