Russell Watson is an English tenor whose music blends operatic and pop styles. He first came to attention singing the U.K. national anthem at the Rugby League Challenge Cup final at Wembley Stadium, in addition to performances at the final of the Premiership and UEFA Champions League finals the same year.
Watson went on to find major success with debut album The Voice, a collection of arias and covers of pop songs.

The album went on to win the Classical Brit for Album of The Year and Best Selling Debut. Watson followed this success with second album Encore, which mirrored The Voice’s success winning the Classical Brit for Album of The Year in addition to Best Selling Album. At this time Watson also released a charity single, “Nothing Sacred” which peaked at No.17 on the U.K. charts.
