Today’s generation of aspiring young musicians often have just one choice in their pursuit of a career – to take the plunge and independently mastermind a digital cottage industry from which their songs can be discovered by a like-minded audience. That’s precisely what Oxford’s twenty-year-old singer-songwriter Lewis Watson did. After gradually building his own fan-base, his debut EP ‘It’s Got Four Sad Songs On It BTW’ topped the iTunes singer-songwriter chart on the first day of release, outselling the likes of Adele, Madonna and Ed Sheeran in the process. It’s a model that plenty of artists aspire to recreate, but few ever make any serious progress with.
“People are calling my age group the broken generation, yet we’re getting out there, doing what we want and being successful with it,” says Lewis of like-minded young singer-songwriters such as Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Ben Howard and Jake Bugg as examples. “People aren’t going to talent shows; they’re breaking the mould by writing meaningful songs and getting out there through social media. The scene is so rich with talent at the moment and to be amongst all of it is a great honour.”
