This week on Inspired Edinburgh we have Jack Robertson.

Jack is the singing sensation of Scotland. At age 12 he performed at the Forth 1 Awards where he shared the stage with Jason Donavan, Sharleen Spiteri, James Blunt, Alesha Dixon and The Stereophonics. A year later he won Festival4Stars and was hand-picked by Robin Gibb to sing at the BeeGees 50th Anniversary gig alongside Lulu, Bill Wyman and Beverly Knight.

Jack’s soaring vocals and cutting edge sound have drawn favourable comparisons with Sam Smith and his cover of Sam Smith’s ‘Writing on The Wall’ has had well in excess of 100k YouTube views.

Most recently he released his second single ‘Enough’, he has featured on TV and in the press and he performed at the world’s first time travelling dance party, Hot Dub Time Machine.

We cover Jack's incredible journey to date, his style of music, the people that have influenced him, his views on the music industry today, his future ambitions and so much more.
