My first thought when I heard he was 17 was this wasn't going to be a fit for CYY and then I listened. I do like the tune but what are YOUR thoughts?

Here's a quick background on buzzy artist Declan McKenna. First and foremost, he's seventeen, he write's his own songs and usually plays all his own instruments. He grew up in Hertfordshire in the UK and has always been a fan of music and politics. There's a good chance you've heard of the Glastonbury Festival. It's England's biggest music festival that happens annually. Declan entered Glastonbury's Emerging Talent Competition and named him last years winner. He was awarded 5,000 pounds (approximately $7,200 in US dollars) and a spot on one of the main stages. More than 40 record companies tried to get him on board, with Declan eventually signing to Columbia Records.
