George Ezra Facts

- While he was studying at the British and Irish Modern Music Institute, George accidentally ran into a wall, that caused an inch-long scar on his forehead, above his right eyebrow.
- George’s debut studio album titled Wanted on Voyage was the 3rd best-selling album of 2014 in the UK. It was only behind Ed Sheeran‘s X and Sam Smith‘s In the Lonely Hour. However, on January 4, 2015, the album reached the number one position in the UK.
- Before his rise to fame, George had created a word, “petan” to bond with his fans. In an interview, he revealed that the word had just originated randomly and had no major significance. However, it has lived on and appears frequently on social media. In fact, George has started selling merchandise using that word.
- George played the support act for iconic band Led Zeppelin‘s lead singer Robert Plant at the Glastonbury Extravaganza in August 2014.
- In October 2014, he released a music video for his song Listen to the Man, featuring legendary actor Sir Ian McKellen.
- In 2015, he was the opening act on 16 dates for Sam Smith’s In the Lonely Hour Tour. He also toured with Irish musician Hozier on his sold-out 2015 North American sojourn.
- In 2015, he was nominated for “Best British Album”, “Best British Male Solo Artist”, “Best British Single”, and “British Breakthrough Artist” at the Brit Awards. However, he did not win in any of the categories.
- In 2019, George won “Best British Male Solo Artist” at the Brit Awards, “Best Music – International” at the Goldene Kamera Awards, and “Live Act of the Year” at the GQ Men of the Year Awards.
- In 2018, he started a podcast named George Ezra & Friends, where he holds a free-wheeling discussion with other musicians over episodes that range from 45 to 60 minutes. The podcast is hosted on his official website and its debut episode on February 12 featured Ed Sheeran.
- On his podcast, George has hosted artists like Hannah Reid, Craig David, Declan McKenna, Jessie Ware, Justin Young, Sam Smith, Lily Allen, Sir Elton John, Niall Horan, Ellie Goulding, Laurie Vincent, Olly Alexander, Nile Rodgers, and Sir Tom Jones.

- In March 2019, George was forced to pay royalties for his hit song Shotgun after Irish musician Derek Ryan made claims of copyright infringement stating that Shotgun was similar to his 2014 song, Flowers in Your Hair. George insisted that he had never heard of Derek’s song. However, the lawyers of both parties made an out-of-court settlement that gives Derek 7.5% of the total income from the song.
- George avait gardé sa relation à long terme avec sa petite amie très privée et son nom n'a jamais été révélé publiquement. Par conséquent, lorsqu'il a admis que la plupart des chansons romantiques de son deuxième album, Staying at Tamara's (2018) étaient en hommage à sa vie amoureuse, il y avait d'intenses spéculations selon lesquelles le nom de sa petite amie était Tamara. Cependant, George a mis fin à ces rumeurs en déclarant que Tamara était en fait le nom du propriétaire d' Airbnb dont il résidait chez lui lors d'un voyage à Barcelone.
