Scottish singer Kerr Mercer sells out UK gigs

Kerr Mercer is a young singer from Lanarkshire, Scotland, who is gaining popularity despite not having released any music yet. He has sold out gigs across the UK and has performed with well-known artists like Myles Smith and Teddy Swims. At just 18 years old, Kerr has decided to focus on building a faithful fan base before launching his music. His approach to waiting for a proper music release is unusual in today's fast-paced music industry. Kerr believes that real connections with live audiences are more important than streaming numbers. He named venues like King Tut’s and Saint Luke’s as places where he has already performed to full houses. Kerr’s musical journey began in childhood, inspired by records of classic soul artists, especially Sam Cooke. Although he jokes that his concert audiences are mainly family, Kerr's talent is undeniable. With strong family support, especially from his parents, he continuously seeks their feedback on his music. He describes his mother as honest, always telling him when he needs to improve. Kerr has worked with notable figures in the industry, and his relationship with Lewis Capaldi has been particularly encouraging. They have co-written a song, showcasing a unique collaboration for someone still finding their path. While he patiently works on his upcoming releases, Kerr's commitment to perfectionism is clear. He has fun writing with new collaborators and aims to share his music by late 2025.
