About / Biography

Dean Watson Music is a solo male vocalist specialising in Rat Pack, swing, jazz and modern classics, bringing the style and atmosphere of the golden age of crooners to weddings and events.

I've been performing since a young age and have always loved this music, particularly the music of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and the Rat Pack.

My performances are designed to complement the occasion rather than overpower it, from singing you down the aisle to providing live music during a drinks reception while your guests mingle and enjoy the atmosphere.

My wedding collections are centered around these moments with options for the ceremony, drinks reception or both together. I can also provide tailored performances for private and corporate occasions where a sophisticated live vocalist is the right fit.

Based in York, I perform across Yorkshire/ North East and further afield.
