About Russell Watson

Russell Watson is the UK’s most prolific classical recording artist, now celebrating his 25th year in the music industry. His first two recordings, The Voice and Encore, are the top two album sellers of the century. His debut album The Voice achieved one million sales in the UK alone, making him the first and only classical vocalist to ever achieve these numbers. He has reached number one status globally and holds platinum album status from the UK to Australia.

Russell was the first UK artist to score a transatlantic number one in both the USA and the UK, spending a record-breaking 52 weeks at number one. He has performed for some of the world’s most notable figures including Her Majesty The Queen (on numerous occasions), The Duke of Edinburgh (he is an ambassador for the Duke's Fellowship Charity), King Charles (an ambassador for the Prince’s Trust), and the late Pope John Paul II, who requested a private audience with Russell at the Vatican. He has also performed for former US presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, the Emperor of Japan, and the King of Malaysia.

His shows at some of the world’s biggest sporting events have gained him great acclaim. He has performed with legendary soprano Montserrat Caballé at the Champions League final, at the 1999 Rugby Union World Cup, the 2002 Euros, the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games, and the World Games opening ceremony. That same year, he sang in front of the Capitol building in Washington, DC for a live audience of 450,000 people. In 2012, he performed three concerts at Buckingham Palace for the Queen’s Coronation Gala Festival.

Since 2001, Russell has sold more than seven million albums worldwide, achieved eight top ten album placements, and received four Classical Brit Awards. He has occupied the UK top twenty on seventeen separate occasions. He has duetted with some of the world’s biggest stars, including Sir Paul McCartney (at the Nobel Peace Prize Awards), Luciano Pavarotti (Hyde Park), Lionel Richie (duet on his second album), Meatloaf, and Natalie Cole for his PBS debut special in the States. Russell’s television performances range from Michael Parkinson to his recent appearance on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! He has also appeared on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing and has been a talent judge on several prime-time TV series. His musical theatre ventures include Jeff Wayne’s War Of The Worlds (Parson Nathaniel), Benny and Bjorn’s (of Abba fame) Kristina, which showed on Broadway, and Billy Flynn in Chicago. His touring resume is immense, consistently selling out arenas and theatres since the turn of the century.

Russell Watson epitomises a genuine world star.
