British singer-songwriter George Ezra will open for both Sam Smith and Hozier on their respective North American tours early next year.

The 21-year-old, known for his breakout single "Budapest," will tour ahead of an expected 2015 U.S. release of his debut album, Wanted On Voyage, which recently reached No. 1 on the U.K.'s Official Charts.

Although Ezra is still emerging Stateside, "Budapest" has begun climbing alternative radio in America, following a path similar to that of Hozier.

His trek supporting Smith will begin Jan. 9 in Atlanta, carrying through February before joining Hozier on March 2 in Toronto.
