Che Watson: 


A singer songwriter, as well as an incredibly talented multi-instrumentalist, hailing from London, Che cut his teeth in the late nineties performing as a Post Punk drummer on the prolific Indie scene. Subsequently,  Che joined  the bands Dusty Muzzle and then Princip, as their front man and songwriter, performing all over the UK for more than a decade. 


Inspired by the theatricality of his hero David Bowie, along with other hugely influential artists such as Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Nirvana and even Tenacious D, he has also incorporated more folk based acoustic material, such as Bright Eyes and Lucius. The fusion between melodic acoustic pop and catchy indie rock, is why his music is so catchy and sometimes an irritating ear worm. 


After a lengthy career fronting bands and writing music, Che was awarded Best Solo Artist at the TC Indie Awards in 2019. Not long after this accolade, lockdown happened. Which created the opportunity to concentrate on writing music for his solo career. 


Which was the birth of his track, Mystery Team. Written and recorded solo in his kitchen with a homemade music video to match, it accumulated over 60,000 views through social media within two weeks. Currently available as a single on most platforms, it leads the way for the upcoming album, possibly recorded in another room.
