Tobias Jesso Jr. is a Grammy-winning Canadian musician from Vancouver who’s written pop hits for superstars like Adele, Harry Styles, Dua Lipa, and Florence and the Machine. Last month, he was honoured with the international achievement award at the SOCAN Awards. In a rare interview, Tobias tells Tom about striking out in L.A. early in his career, stepping away from the spotlight after releasing one of the most talked about debut albums of 2015, and how he got his first session as a professional songwriter working with Adele.
