WHAT IT IS: “This singer/songwriter has a great tone of voice and writes songs that will touch everyone,” shares Relentless President Shabs Jobanputra. “From early demos, we heard he was mainstream and very strong. He was great live, and after one song, we just knew we had to sign him. His tracks have had great traction on streaming and he has lots of love at media. Shows are starting to sell out and the support offers are amazing. Ed Sheeran heard one of his songs and asked who it was and James Blunt wants to buy one of them.” The rollout at radio starts next year. Three big songs are coming, with an album in late summer. The Relentless team in the U.K. will A&R and market Walker. The agency is Coda in the U.K., and a publishing deal is being done. Management is Simon King at Covert.
