Kerr Mercer

Kerr Mercer at The Lower Third

Long before releasing music, the Lanarkshire-born teenage artist was already selling out venues across the UK, building a fiercely loyal fanbase through live performances and viral online clips, making the deliberate decision to tour extensively before releasing any music and allowing real audiences to connect with his songs first.

His debut single ‘Alcohol’arrived just last year and has already surpassed one million streams, with the deeply emotional follow-up, ‘Terrified’, earlier this year. Kerr has also already earned the support of some of the industry’s biggest artists, including Teddy Swims, Myles Smith, and Lewis Capaldi.

From early open mic nights in Glasgow to sold-out headline shows at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, his reputation as a must-see live performer has grown rapidly, and a sold-out UK headline tour arrived last year, cementing him as one of Scotland’s most promising new artists.
