Sea shanty singer Nathan Evans has raked in more than £450,000 since quitting his job as a postman to be a full-time musician. The folk musician posted the 19th-century whaling song The Wellerman on social media app TikTok in December 2020 and quickly amassed a huge following.
The 27-year-old from Airdrie, Lanarkshire, left his job with Royal Mail after landing a three-album deal with Polydor Records.
Now accounts for companies set up to channel his income show he made a fortune in the first year of his new found fame. His firm Xena Tara had total assets of £433,328 in the 12 months up to March 31 this year.
