Rudimental had been making music for about six years before they had their first hit last year.
Overnight success took years of hard work, writes Paula Yeoman Piers Agget from British electronic outfit Rudimental struggles to find the words to describe this year and the 18 months of craziness that followed the phenomenal success of their breakthrough hit, Feel The Love. But when he does, there's no stopping him.
"It's been an amazing year. We've had a
number one album, we were nominated for a Mercury Prize, there has been loads of live shows, we've toured the world - we've done Australia, America, Europe, the UK, and we're soon to do New Zealand. It's been is an absolute roller coaster of a year, but we're all so happy. We're living the dream."
Rudimental appeared to emerge from nowhere last year - four singer-songwriters/producers who stumbled on a good song and were thrust into the spotlight. But they'd been slogging away at it for years.
"For the world it happened very quickly, but three of us had been together for six years. I've been involved in making music, we all have, since the age of 13, 14, and we're 26, 27 now. It's been a long process of hard work and spending a lot of money and hours on projects going nowhere," says Agget.
