Biography of Marti Pellow
West Dunbartonshire’s working-class town of Clydebank is where Pellow was raised. He was the youngest of four children and came from a musical family; both his mother and father were singers. Before joining Wet Wet Wet in 1982, Pellow had a long career in music, having played in various local bands since he was a young child.

With Pellow on lead vocals, Tommy Cunningham on drums, Graeme Clark on bass, and Neil Mitchell on keyboards, Wet Wet Wet was founded in Glasgow in 1982. The band immediately established a following in Scotland thanks to the 1960s pop and soul influences in their early music.

Wet Wet Wet published their debut album, “Popped In Souled Out,” in 1987. The album was a major success, hitting number one on the UK album charts and winning the band a BRIT Award for Best British Newcomer. It produced multiple hit singles, including “Wishing I Was Lucky” and “Sweet Little Mystery.”

Throughout the 1990s, Wet Wet Wet continued to put out great albums and songs, including the hit tune “Love Is All Around,” which spent 15 weeks straight at the top of the UK singles chart. The band also played at the opening ceremony of the 1994 FIFA World Cup in Chicago, which was broadcast to an estimated 2 billion viewers worldwide.

Pellow departed Wet Wet Wet in 1999 to focus on a solo career. The popular single “Close to You” appeared on his debut solo album, “Smile,” which was published in 2001. The album was a commercial success and peaked at number two on the UK album charts.

Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, Pellow continued to release solo albums, such as “Between the Covers” (2003), “Love to Love” (2011), and “Stargazer” (2017). Also, he worked with other performers like Mick Hucknall and Tony Hadley.

Pellow has pursued acting as well as a music career. In 2003, he made his West End debut at the Adelphi Theatre in the title role of the musical “Chicago.” Moreover, in 2008, he made an appearance in the touring production of “The Witches of Eastwick,” and in 2018, he played Billy Flynn in the West End version of “Chicago.”

Pellow, who once fought a heroin addiction, has been outspoken about his difficulties with addiction. He has been sober since 2000 and has turned into a champion for addiction recovery, frequently sharing his stories in public and supporting organizations that assist others who are addicted.

Pellow has also supported a number of causes and nonprofit organizations, such as Cancer Research UK and the Prince’s Trust.
