Initially a duo, 2018 saw the superlative pop act Born Stranger be solely defined by David Maddox-Jones, who took the reins solo. With his soulful vocal, stellar songwriting prowess, and a sound characterized by an irrefutably infectious groove, Maddox continues to push his musical boundaries with his forward-thinking vision of pop mastery. 
 “Born Stranger is an artist of rare talent, becoming somewhat of a pop chameleon in recent times, hopping from one style to another without shirking an ounce of his sophisticated aesthetic.” – ROUGH 
 Drawing inspiration from pop heavyweights across the musical spectrum; Chic, Depeche Mode right through to The Weeknd & Maroon 5, Born Stranger has a clear grasp on what makes a spectacular song. His passion and expertise are catching ears the world over, with continued radio play from the likes of BBC Introducing and XFM, and support from The Independent and tastemakers CLASH Magazine and EARMILK.
