Scottish born Kerri Watt has music in her soul - from listening to Michael Jackson on repeat as a child to performing her own light-hearted pop as an adult.

Learning to sing and play the piano at a young age, Watt began competing in dance and entertainment shows by the age of eight and at 16 she won a place at a theatre school in California. With a clear idea about what she wanted out of life, the singer went on to study musical theatre in London for three years before landing a part in a touring production of Jekyll & Hyde with Wet Wet Wet singer Marti Pellow. Following her theatre stint, Watt decided to go back to her roots and started singing again and has recently toured with the likes of The Overtones, Nina Nesbitt and Mike & The Mechanics. Following the release of her second EP, You, in early 2015, she has been hard at work on her debut album, which is due for release in 2016.
