Micky P Kerr

Micky P Kerr

Micky P Kerr is the performing name of Michael Kerr, an English singer-songwriter and comic act associated with Leeds. He is described as born in 1981 and as beginning to take music seriously in 1997, after which he starts writing songs and performing live around his home town.

Early life and songwriting

Kerr begins songwriting at the age of 20, and the first song he writes is described as being sad, melancholy and poor. After that, he spends a long period writing alone and eventually produces enough material for three albums. The account says he writes all of his songs over a single marathon writing session and then decides not to write any more new material.

Performing career

After assembling his songs, Kerr begins playing gigs locally. He later returns to music again after time spent away from it, and he continues to appear in and around pubs and bars in Leeds. The profile presents him as a comic, poetic performer with a reputation for unusual behaviour on and off stage.

Character and interests

The description presents Kerr as someone who isolates himself for long periods, works in bursts, and becomes known for eccentric habits. It also says that cricket, and especially the lure of fast bowling, draws him back to playing music after a period spent outdoors and away from regular life.

Occupation and background

Before returning fully to songwriting, Kerr applies for a steady job with Norwich Union. The text places him in a more settled routine after that period, before music once again becomes central to his life.
