Description
Kerri Watt is a Scottish singer-songwriter and multi instrumentalist from Milngavie. Kerri Watts' Celtic roots are embedded in the streets of Glasgow where poets grow and strong hearts rule. Her current embracing of Americana is not fashion or vogue; this sound was fused when then 16 year old Kerri ventured solo to California. She blazed a trail through prestigious venues from West Coast to the East Coast across the US honing her craft in places such as Whisky a Go Go in L.A., The Basement in Nashville and NYC's Rockwood Music Hall.
Kerri fell in love with America and its music. Kerri's love of travel, nature and adventure didn't stop in the USA. An adventitious meeting with a music executive in Ibiza saw her returning to the UK to record. Her incredible pure, emotive but powerful voice and pop sensibility soon found her playlisted twice on BBC Radio 2, singles 'Long Way Home' and 'The Wild'. It wasn't long before live sessions and numerous TV appearances were booked in with ITV, STV, Sky TV and the BBC, and people began to pay real attention to Kerri.
Her music hinted at the wide open spaces of her American experiences, yet were carefully crafted pop tunes. Kerri's collaboration with producer Oliver Nelson on the summer mix of 'You' racked up over a million plays and achieved a number one on Hype Machine with rave reviews. Bringing the story fully up to date sees Kerri going full circle back to her true passion and love for America and it's music, so she set off to record her debut album with Grammy Award Nominated Producer 'Machine' in Austin Texas.
What she has delivered from those sessions is an incredible debut album. Kerri has toured the UK and Europe supporting acts such as Tom Speight, Ward Thomas, Nina Nesbitt and as a featured artist with Embrace supporting Coldplay at the Cardiff Millennium Stadium for two nights as well as having played festivals including Isle of Wight, Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Cornbury and Boardmastersand more recently supported Keith Urban in London.
