Hailing from Bathgate in West Lothian, Fraser McLean is an incredibly prolific young singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
He’s still only 22-years-old, but despite his tender years, he’s already shared a stage alongside artists including Callum Beattie, fellow West Lothian superstar and UTR favourite Lewis Capaldi, not to mention touring with wrest. He’s also performed at local festival Party at the Palace, as well as Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival and Kendal Calling.
McLean spent the last couple of years honing his songwriting craft, co-writing with artists and producers including the likes of Keir Gibson, Prentice Robertson (lead singer in excellent indie act Vistas), and Liam McCluskey (HYYTS, Kehlani, Cammy Barnes, GUN) among others.
His excellent debut single All that you wanted, was both produced and co-written by Keir Gibson and was released last Friday. It’s already secured airplay courtesy of Jim Gellatly on Amazing Radio (both in the UK and US), Radio Wigwam, and we predict his masterful songwriting talents will secure plenty more in the future listen at https://frasermclean.ffm.to/allthatyouwanted
