Lewis Watson performed a gig at the Borderline last night, cementing his status as one of the UK's fastest rising young stars.

As well as being compared to Ed Sheeran - who said "I love seeing what you are doing. You're smashing it!" - Watson has previously performed with Gabrielle Aplin, who's latest single seems set for Christmas number one.

Lewis released his new EP Another Four Sad Songs in October, which peaked at 16 in the iTunes album charts and went to number 1 in the iTunes singer songwriter chart.

Speaking of his success, Lewis previously said, "People aren't going to talent shows; they're breaking the mould by writing meaningful songs and getting out there through social media. There are two talents at work: creating music and promoting yourself.”
