Rob da Bank meets up with Michael Kiwanuka, winner of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Sound of 2012, to take a trip through his musical influences and record collection.

From Shuggie Otis to Nirvana, The Isley Brothers to The Verve, Afrika Bambaata to Lauryn Hill he explains what each track means to him, from the first ever track he learnt the guitar part to, to the artist who inspired him to start writing music and the song he used to listen to as a teenager on Saturday nights with his mates.

If you still don't know who Michael Kiwanuka is and why he's been tipped for the top, this should fill you in nicely.
