Amit Dattani

Following a diagnosis of a degenerative nerve condition and told he would no longer be able to play guitar, Amit Dattani taught himself a new way of playing, and, several years on, defiantly returns with ‘Wrong Kind of One’, an album that’s as strong as his debut and deserving of further glowing accolades.

A joy for genre purists and roots novitiates alike, this is among the year’s finest debut albums and assures Dattani a place at the same table as those that have both influenced and fuelled his love of the music he plays.

Watch Santiago, the new video and title track from Amit Dattani’s forthcoming debut album, recorded and produced by Gavin Monaghan. The song is named after the title character from Hemmingway’s The Old Man and the Sea.
