Brighton based songwriter Mike Rosenberg had been working under the mainstream radar for five years, releasing albums and building a loyal live following. Then he wrote a song called Let Her Go and everything went nuts.
The song was the most played track of 2013, according to PRS for Music data, earning Mike an Ivor Novello Award for his efforts.
It changed Mike’s career overnight, thrusting him into the international spotlight and pushing his solid career into overdrive.
Luckily he was well prepared: Mike has played hundreds of gigs in small venues from the UK to Australia, has written five albums, supported friend Ed Sheeran on tour and taken Glastonbury Festival by storm.
We caught up with the one-time busker and all-round nice guy at The Ivors 2014 to hear about his extraordinary rise to stardom and how he wrote his super-hit Let Her Go…
