Rostam first rose to prominence as a member of the band Vampire Weekend, working as part of the group for their first three albums before leaving to embark on a solo career. He's since gone on to release three solo albums as well as working with the likes of Haim, Frank Ocean, Charli XCX and Maggie Rogers. His latest album, American Stories, is out now.
