Melt Yourself Down was the result\, with the self-named first album released in 2013 incorporating African rhythms\, duelling saxophones and a bold new sound.\n\nIn 2019 Wareham signed with Melt Yourself Down to Decca Records and the band’s third album ‘100 YES%’ produced by Wareham\, Youth and Ben Hillier was released in 2020.\n\nAn original member of Seb Rochford’s twice Mercury-nominated Polar Bear\, he has been involved with many other high-profile projects – either as a band member or session musician – and his playing collaborations with Nadine Shah and Sons Of Kemet won him another Mercury nomination in 2018.\n\nWareham has for several years also focused on production and songwriting. In 2015 he received the Paul Hamlyn Composer’s Award and since then has developed his production work further in his home studio while working on collaborative songwriting and production work with other artists.
