Former Hexham Queen Elizabeth High School pupil Jordan Harris is releasing his debut album on August 9.
Known for performances at huge UK festivals and performances with internationally acclaimed artists, Mr Harris has received more than a million Spotify streams.
The album, "Radiance," is an 11-track instrumental Progressive Metal journey.
It represents more than four years of work, some songs having been developed nearly a decade ago.
The standalone singles released ahead of the album racked up 18,000 views since June 14, 2024.
Global radio stations, from Brazil to Japan and including UK's BBC Radio, have been playing the tracks.
"Radiance" comes with three music videos.
The final video, scheduled for release a few weeks post album launch, tells the story of a superhero wielding guitar powers to save the world.
