WATERSON

COME TOGETHER...

About Me

I’m Waterson and I’m fae Glasgow (that was in a Glaswegian accent by the way)! I’m signed with 23rd Precinct/Notting Hill Publishing for my songwriting, and I’m working on solo artist album material with Oxyd Records in Italy, rough versions of which you can hear right here baby. Plus I’m ’...featuring Waterson...’ on quite a few upcoming dance tracks, including ’Rollercoaster’ with Ichinisan (Devore), ’Solid Silver’ with Mitch Davis (Nish Nish) and ’I Love Linda’ with Sleek Physique (Kinky Malinki). Keep them eyes and ears peeled - I’m a comin’! Peace to you all...

Now flash sites are very nice and everything but when they take five hours to load only to discover that the person doesn't accept requests from bands, it all becomes just a 'lil bitty tedious.Perhaps...

TRAVELLIN’ LIGHT
