Dyson, the global technology company, proudly announces British musician, Stormzy, as its latest Global Ambassador. This exciting collaboration showcases 55 hours inside the mind of a rockstar – how much Stormzy can achieve, all with a single charge of the Dyson OnTrac™ headphones.
Stormzy is a celebrated British musician known for his impactful lyrics and significant contributions to music. His debut album, Gang Signs & Prayer (2017), made history by debuting at number one on the UK Albums Chart, becoming the first grime album to achieve this milestone. The album garnered critical acclaim and won the Brit Award for Best British Album. His second album, Heavy Is the Head (2019), further solidified his status in the industry, featuring hit singles like “Vossi Bop” and “Crown.” It also debuted at number one and earned him the Brit Award for Best Male Solo Artist. Continuing this trend, his third album, This Is What I Mean (2022), also debuted at number one and received widespread praise.
This partnership is launched with an immersive campaign film. Through the lens of the 55-hour run-time of the Dyson OnTrac™, we see how truly chaotic the life of a rockstar can be. Catching flights. Catching nights. Catching games. Catching moments to yourself. All while working on the next big song. It takes a sharp mind and strong will to cut through the distractions and focus on your passion. That’s what sets Stormzy apart. And the Dyson OnTrac™ headphones are with him every minute.
Jake Dyson, chief engineer, says: “We are delighted to welcome Stormzy as our latest Global Ambassador. With Stormzy, we share a common guiding philosophy. Making the most of everything and consistently delivering something that’s better than what’s been before. It’s what’s driven us to make smaller motors, to expand into different sectors, to solve more problems. It’s what’s driven Stormzy to master more genres, go deeper with lyrics and affect social change. And it’s incredibly exciting to see how our technology can give Stormzy the fuel he needs.”
Stormzy says: “Whether I’m catching a flight, getting ready for a show, or working on new music, I need to tune everything out and stay focused. The Dyson OnTrac™ headphones make it easy – they’re with me through every trip, no matter how long or hectic the day gets.”
Designed for focus and high-quality listening on-the-go, the Dyson OnTrac™ headphones provide up to 55 hours¹ of best-in-class active noise cancellation on just one charge. Engineered with quick charging, a 10-minute charge delivers 2.5 hours of extra battery, while a 30-minute charge delivers 9 hours. The two high-capacity lithium-ion cells are positioned in the headband of the Dyson OnTrac™ rather than the ear cups – for optimal weight distribution during those 55-hour listening sessions.
Just like Stormzy, Dyson OnTrac™ headphones excel at delivering Grime, Rap, Gospel and more – thanks to an enhanced sound range. With advanced 40mm speaker drivers and audio signal processing which reproduce 6Hz – 21kH – beyond the audible spectrum – the Dyson OnTrac™ headphones faithfully reproduce every note, beat, and whisper. This is ideal for perfectionists like Stormzy, so they can hear back their music exactly as they intended.

Dyson OnTrac™ headphones feature customisable outer caps and ear cushions, available in a range of colours and finishes – and it is possible to create over 2,000 unique looks.
