Modular People

His debut album has barely been out on shelves for a fortnight, but it still seems that 21-year-old Jonathan Boulet is on nothing short of a winning streak. After career highs most artists can only dream of (ie - the infamous Kanye shout out), Jono is well and truly on a roll: having scored the illustrious "Feature Album" slot all next week on Triple J.

Starting Monday December 21, you'll able to get a taste of his self-titled debut across the station's programs, 24-7. And as if that wasn't enough, the record's lead single, "A Community Service Announcement" will be the Single of the Week on iTunes. That's literally more Boulet than you can poke a sick at - and more than enough reasons why we're claiming next week as 'the unofficial week of Jonathan Boulet.'
