Michael David Rosenberg (born 17 May 1984), better known by his stage name Passenger, is an English folk rock singer-songwriter. Previously the main vocalist and songwriter of Passenger, Rosenberg opted to keep the band’s name for his solo work after the band dissolved in 2009. His most successful single, “Let Her Go”, has topped the charts in many countries. In 2014 the songwas nominated for the Brit Award for British Single of the Year, and he received the British Academy’s IvorNello Award for Most Performed Work.> Rosenberg’s father (a film production worker) introduced him to ex-Faithless member JamieCatto in 2001, leading to a two-song spot at the Free Burma Campaign benefit gig at the Royal Court in London in 2002. On the night, Rosenberg met his future writing partner Andrew Phillips and established contact with the IE Music label. Back in Brighton, Phillips and Rosenberg pooled their musical influences (from Simon And Garfunkel to DJ Shadow), and started to write songs at Phillips’ in-house studio in Hove. During 2003 they formed the Mike Rosenberg Band, engaging Marcus O’Dair (bass), Alon Cohen (drums) and RichardBrinklow (keyboards) through connections within the Brighton music scene.
