JACK ROBERTSON TO BE VOICE OF INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY WITH LIVE GLOBAL WEBCAST


Scottish heart-throb to be global voice of International Youth Day with his love song to the world written as a message to global youth

He was the lead singer and heart-throb of Scottish band, Rewind and became an overnight web sensation with his Sam Smith cover, now Edinburgh singer/songwriter, Jack Robertson has been chosen to be the global voice of the United Nation’s International Youth Day 2017 (12 August) with his new single, ‘Enough’.  Conveying an inspirational message of ‘we’ve had enough’ to support this year’s theme of ‘Youth Building Peace’, Jack represents the voice of the world’s youth who simply want a world of peace for their generation.

Bringing his message to life for the planet, Jack Robertson will be delivering a live global webcast on International Youth Day, a free, global digital gig for everyone to share the message of peace.  Join him for the free peace gig at: 3pm on 12 August at https://www.facebook.com/jack.robertson.35

“What an honour to be chosen as the global voice for youth,” comments Jack, ”We’re the next generation and we want to grow into a world that’s peaceful. I felt ‘song’ was the best way to get that message out to people of my generation, as music is a universal language that we all understand no matter where we’re from.  I’m just a boy from Scotland who’s representing the voice of the world, it doesn’t get better than this.”

Enough’ is a love song to the world. Depicting bridges burned, inflicted pain and promises broken, it’s a metaphor of love on a war-torn world; a desperate plea that enough is enough and it’s time to let go of what’s killing us.  A delicious slice of catchy pop whipping and weaving it’s way around the fabric of Jack’s rich and compelling vocals, ‘Enough’ was written to grab instant attention, with an underlying message to the world for those who have ears to listen.

At  22 years old, Jack Robertson is the singing sensation of Scotland. Well known by just about all north of the border, Jack has built a loyal fan base that’s rapidly growing. Listeners to Forth 1 will know him well for his support for charities such as Cash For Kids and the Kilt Walk. By the age of just 12, Jack was performing at the Forth 1 Awards where he shared the stage with Jason Donavan, Sharleen Spiteri, James Blunt, Alisha Dixon and The Stereophonics. A year later Jack 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 received over 100k YouTube views within just a few hours: http://hyperurl.co/yq5ma3, leading to an appearance on STV.

It’d be hard for those living North of the Border not to have heard of Jack Robertson, his profile within boy band, Rewind, was immense.  However, when Jack was brought to the attention of music stalwarts, Julian Close and Ian Curnow of EC2M Music Management, his fortunes spiraled to cosmic heights.  They instantly recognized Jack’s solo potential and put him in the studio with their newly assembled team of young East London based songwriters, operating under Ian Curnow’s guidance (East 17, Take That, Roxette, Boyzone, SClub – to name a few)  - and the rest is history. 

Now Jack steps onto the world stage as the global voice of youth for International Youth Day 2017.  Join Jack and raise your hands for peace because enough is enough!
