Check out UK artist Dan Black.

One of the vanguard artists in the U.K.'s genre-swirling Wonky Pop movement, Dan Black's combination of pop, rock, dance, and hip-hop flavors came to light in 2008 with his hit single Yours. After spending four years playing guitar in the alt-rock band the Servant, Black left London for Paris. The 2008 solo track HYPNTZ -- a mix of the lyrics from the Notorious B.I.G.'s Hypnotize with a sample of Rihanna's Umbrella underneath -- announced his return home.

The funky single Alone became his first official release thanks to the Polydor label, then Yours landed at the end of the year. Black began 2009 by joining Boy Crisis and Master Shortie on the U.K. Wonky Pop Tour.
