He is also seems to be one of Scooter Braun’s guys, and scooter seems to be a detestable piece of shit

There’s also his connection to Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, which stemmed from a time he was at a crossroads. While Watt is currently prepping his solo rock debut buoyed by the single “Burning Man” with Post Malone, at one point Watt was afraid he’d get stuck in the pop world forever. “I was on tour with Bieber and we were about to play at the Shoreline Ampitheater,” he says of the famed Northern California home of Neil Young’s annual Bridge School Benefit that regularly features Vedder. “I was there four months before that year’s show which was going to take place on my birthday, and bought a guitar that I wanted to give to Vedder since I knew he’d be at the benefit. So I found this woman who worked at the venue and gave her the guitar to give to Eddie with a note that said, ‘The reason why I do music is Pearl Jam. I’m on tour playing for another artist, but I feel your vibes and wanted to give you a guitar as a thank you.’”

Four months later on Watt’s birthday, the night of the benefit, he missed a call from a Seattle number. When he heard the voicemail, it was Vedder wishing him a happy birthday and thanking him for the guitar. “I texted him and said, ‘Thanks for the birthday wish’ and he texted me back with the most meaningful message at a time when I needed it, encouraging me to continue,” says Watt, now finished with his pizza and ready to depart the Bowery’s chic lobby for another night out in New York.

“Eddie said, ‘Music is communication on the grandest scale. When you’re on stage, what you put out there as one person, the audience takes it and pushes it back to you.’”
