British star鈥檚 鈥榃hat a Time to Be Alive鈥 tour is in town
Print Edition
The Scotland-born, Manchester-based singer-songwriter Tom Walker has penciled in a Shanghai date as part of his world tour 鈥淲hat a Time to Be Alive.鈥
Having graduated from London College of Creative Media, Walker released his first hit single 鈥淛ust You and I鈥 and as a consequence was picked as Elvis Duran鈥檚 Artist of the Month to appear on NBC鈥檚 Today Show with Kathie Lee Gifford. 鈥淛ust You and I鈥 was later re-released and got to number three in the UK charts.
The 28-year-old鈥檚 successful singing career kicked off from that point.
The talented musician has provided several supporting slots for artists such as Gallant and Jake Bugg before headlining his own UK tour last year.
His smash hit debut album 鈥淲hat A Time To Be Alive鈥 was released last year on Sony subsidiary Relentless Records, which contained the popular single 鈥淟eave A Light On.鈥 The track made it to number seven in the UK hit parade. Co-written and produced by Steve Mac, who has worked with international stars such as Sam Smith, George Ezra and Little Mix, the song was a best-seller throughout Europe.
Written by Walker, Joel Pott of Athlete and Cam Blackwood and produced by Mark Ralph, 鈥淏etter Half of Me鈥 looks set to cement the singer-songwriter鈥檚 status as one of the UK鈥檚 breakout global stars.
Last year Walker won the Best Breakthrough Act at the Brit Awards, and 鈥淟eave a Light On鈥 was nominated for Best British Single.
Walker is not satisfied with his current record of 1.5 billion streams worldwide and wants to improve in it. 鈥淚鈥檓 enjoying success but always doubting,鈥 he said.
Be sure to book tickets for what promises to be a great night of music.
