[3][4] His production and writing credits include Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Charli XCX, Maxïmo Park, Peace, Yuck, Marina and the Diamonds, Wretch 32, Angel Haze and MNEK amongst many others.

Amidst this ample spare time he discovered a cassette player with an accidental function – the ability to overdub.

First in Ladbroke Grove, and then in Somers Town,[10] with Amor beginning his educational trials at Gladstone Park, St Peters, and Edith Neville.

[12] Here, his growing community began to introduce him to a new culture – of hip hop, graffiti, pirate radio stations, and their potential.

[13] Amor learnt how to graffiti, latched onto pirate radio setups, honed in on record stores and quickly amassed a worthy cassette collection of hip hop, funk, soul, alternative rock and electronic music.

[15] It was then when he found Tribal Tree, a studio and youth club teaching music skills to disadvantaged kids.

In these classes, recent graduate Plan B taught him his first chords,[17] and program founder Kevin Osbourne lent him keys to his studio after hours.

[18] A series of tracks of hip hop beats covering the likes of The Rolling Stones, Leonard Cohen and Radiohead.

He also begins touring as a session musician with a post-hardcore rock band, and in another as a bass player with live electronics.

[2] It is during this time that Amor reunites with his brother who stayed in Iran, Shahrokh Izadkhah, and finds an incredible alignment of interests.

Then in 2009, during a session with Little Boots, Amor convinces Nick Worthington, former A&R of XL Recordings and founder of 679, to come down.

His artists get signed to Atlantic and Amor produces the likes of Sam Smith, Charli XCX, Maxïmo Park, Peace, Yuck, Marina and the Diamonds, Wretch 32 and Angel Haze.

A demo called "Feel the Love", featuring keys and a vocal, is amongst them and sits on Amor's backlog for four months until he reaches it and works on developing and producing the track.

[2] The funding cut continues to inch on, and Amor looks to securing a publishing deal in a hopeful attempt to further bolster Major Toms.

Debuting their first live show, at BBC Hackney Weekend, Rudimental instantly became the most shared act, ahead of the likes of Kanye West.
