Widely regarded as a hub for creative networking, here Sketchman was able to write and record music with many notable emcees from the UK grime scene.

His own collective of Sutton-native artists, and the resultant project, were dubbed The Final Draft, before the release as a free digital download on Christmas Day.

[22] DJ Crissy Criss stood in for Ras, and Sketchman's pre-recorded telephone intro was aired over the beginning of the song, allowing him to plug the project.

[4][24][25] Track Gun Fingers featuring P Money received community support from DJ Vectra on Rinse FM, and internet blog GRM Daily.

[30][31][32] During this year, Sketchman was also featured as a whole-page spread in leading youth lifestyle magazine RWD,[33] distributed in JD Sports stores nationwide.

The track Legacy, from project Get Me Out This Box and produced by Sketchman, was played a number of times on BBC Radio Manchester[42] to positive response.

With 24-hour access to the Noisy Recordings studio, a huge number of tracks were made, enough for the Nuclear Fallout mix-tape,[45] and what became the main body of Breakdown.

[7] Having taken an interest in live instruments, he started gigging with acoustic guitar in January 2013, and was invited to the BBC Introducing Masterclass in March, to meet notable DJs and artists including Angel, Wretch 32, Charlie Sloth, DJ Target and MistaJam.

The track was selected to be part of the Introducing playlist on BBC Radio 1Xtra and received positive feedback and support from many of the station's high-profile DJs, including Nick Bright, Ace, Trevor Nelson, MistaJam[49] and Adele Roberts.

On the last day of the play listing, Sketchman had a live telephone interview with DJ Target to discuss Breakdown, Rain and new music, during which he mentioned the new project Nothing Is Enough.

[50][51] The Guardian published an article shortly thereafter entitled Acoustic grime artist Charles Hazell Sketchman aims to go from Carshalton to stardom.

The video climbed to the top region of the online voting chart, but was eventually unsuccessful in its attempts to win a chance to work with Paloma Faith.

[13] Sketchman also announced a string of live tour dates to coincide with the release, including shows in London, Liverpool, Sheffield, Leicester, Leeds, Bristol and Brighton.

During The Light release campaign, Sketchman has also recorded live freestyle performances for platforms such as BBC Radio 1Xtra,[61] and DJ Charlie Sloth's Fire In The Streets.
