JAI MCDOWALL
Jai rose to fame when he won the fifth series of Britain’s Got Talent in June 2011.
McDowall was signed to Syco Music, a subdivision of record label giant, Sony Music. His debut album Believe was released on 12th December 2011. The lead single “With or Without You” was released the same day. During his work in the studio he was quoted as saying “Being in the studio was everything I hoped it would be and I loved the whole creative process. I like the style of singing I did on Britain’s Got Talent – a kind of mix of musical and pop – so we’re working along those lines.”
Jai had a pleasant surprise at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall when he was invited by Josh Groban to jointly perform “To Where You Are” in front of a packed house. The crowd were treated to this impromptu performance which was warmly received by both artists fans.
He has since performed on the LIVE final of China’s Got Talent and performed for Royalty at the Queens Jubilee and has headlined his own Scottish tour as well as dates across the UK.
His latest single ‘I Begin Again’ is available for worldwide download on iTunes & Amazon.

Michael Courtney
Michael is best known and loved for his spine tingling musical theatre vocals having toured extensively throughout Great Britain in numerous musicals over the past 25 years.
He has produced and directed the UK tours of the critically acclaimed Mad About The Musicals, Waterloo, Shakin All Over, Its D’Lovely, A Night Of Musicals, Love Changes Everything, more than 35 UK Pantomimes and was nominated as the UK Producer of The Year by Encore Magazine.
