Career Originally from London, Westerman first gained attention in the late 2010s with a series of music releases marked by intricate, soft-rock-inflected production.

Your Hero Is Not Dead (2020) Recorded in Lisbon and London, the album combines "whimsical curiosity and technical proficiency," and explores themes of uncertainty and self-interrogation.

A Jackal's Wedding (2025) Produced with Marta Salogni, A Jackal's Wedding incorporates contributions from drummers Stella Mozgawa and James Krivchenia and foregrounds piano- and guitar-based songs that are more minimalist in composition than his earlier albums. The album was written in Athens and recorded on the Greek island Hydra. It received acclaim upon release.

Personal life Westerman currently lives in Greece. He spent time during the pandemic in Italy, where his father lives.
