Hutch isn't just making noise; he’s making sense of the chaos. Fresh off the stage at London’s The Lower Third for BBC Introducing and featuring in the latest issue of ASBO, the 24-year-old British singer, songwriter, and pianist has officially arrived. His latest release, "Coasting" (Deep End Recordings), is a masterclass in cinematic soul that refuses to flinch.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Edem Wornoo (the visionary behind visuals for Dave and Stormzy), the music video for "Coasting" mirrors the track's raw intensity. It’s a grueling, visual exploration of the fight for sobriety, matching the "lyrical gravity" Hutch has become known for.

The track itself is a "widescreen" anthem—a beat-driven blend of gospel flourishes and lush production that serves as a sugar-coating for a much harder pill to swallow.

"Musically the song needed to be just as chaotic as my life then, but beautifully thought out with moments of triumph like I'd just reached the top of a mountain. But someone was there ready to push me off."

Hutch describes "Coasting" as a reflection on the "toxic patterns" of his youth—the dangerous intersection where "having fun" turns into a fight for survival. It captures that frustrating loop of planned rebirths dismantled by old habits and persuasive eyes.

Hutch’s creative DNA is built on the tension between opposites: noise and silence, grief and gratitude. While his modern compass points toward the vulnerable precision of artists like RAYE and Little Simz, his foundation is anchored in the timeless jazz technique of legends like Oscar Peterson.

Recent Highlights:

• Live: Sold-out show at The Lower Third for BBC Introducing (2026).
• Co-signs: Invited by Mahalia to perform alongside Kojey Radical and Hamzaa.
• Discography: Follows the acclaimed 2025 debut "Never Like The First Time."

With "Coasting," Hutch solidifies his position as one of the most compelling voices in the UK—a storyteller who finds beauty in the breakdown.
