Game Changers

Starting his career on the streets, one passer-by at a time, Martin Kerr has built a devoted fanbase of thousands. Often compared to James Taylor and more recently Ed Sheeran (although that might have more to do with his ginger hair and charming English accent) Kerr's storytelling spans the whole spectrum of emotions. His powerful voice and songwriting have earned him high praise from legends like Sarah McLachlan and Bruce Cockburn.In 2017 he went from busking on street corners to selling out his first major theatre show, then opening for Sarah McLachlan at a 20,000 seat stadium, and landing his album in the Canadian Top 10. It was an arrival of sorts for this globe-trotting singer-songwriter, having racked up passport stamps from 35 countries on his musical travels.On our recent podcast we talked to Martin about the raw truth and stories behind the start of his career, sharing his personal journey travelling the world and turning his music dream into a reality.
