quite simple: - Strong Work Ethic - Disciplined musical upbringing - Always having relationships with mentors that keep him in high standards - Humble in his process and fame - Managed by people whom he trusts very dearly - Patient and always in touch with his emotions Its all a perfect loop for success

Yeah, he really ticked all the boxes required to become successful.

All true- but every now and then someone comes by who has an idea which is so special/unique that you can't label it. He's moved music as an art form into a new place - not many people ever achieve that.

Fred Again.. is on another level. I saw him at Coachella with Skrillex and Four Tet, but him and Tony at Lolla sealed it. You don't know true musical talent until you see an entire crowd smiling, crying and dancing hard all during a single track. Delilah and Marea come to mind.
