WELLERMAN
by NATHAN EVANS/220KID/BILLEN TED

Scottish singer (and former postie!) Nathan Evans first rose to prominence when he started posting videos of himself singing sea shanties on TikTok. His version of the New Zealand folk song Wellerman became a viral sensation leading to its release as a single with remixes by UK producers 220 Kid (real name William Graydon) and duo Billen Ted (aka Samuel Brennan and Tom Hollings), as well as renditions by the likes of Brian May, Andrew Lloyd Webber and, um, Elon Musk. It reached Number 1 for two weeks in 2021.
