You might recognize his vocals from McDonalds' I'm Lovin' It campaign, or when he starred in The Official Tribute to the Blues Brothers multi-year tour of Europe, or maybe when he toured relentlessly with Mike & the Mechanics - which included being the opening act for Phil Collins on his world tour. So if you think his voice sounds familiar, it's because he's been singing to you anonymously for years! Now he steps into the limelight as himself: Welcome McGoozer. In June 2017 his current single, "Falling Out Of Love", hit number 3 in the iTunes Singer Songwriter charts and his first solo album, Songs from the Mirror, was released September 15 on Right Track Records and distributed worldwide by Universal Music Group. | https://mcgoozer.com
