Dean Barton, son of the late Alan Barton (lead singer with Smokie) has been touring extensively throughout Europe and Asia with his band Spirit of Smokie.

He recently did a UK tour supporting Chris Norman with his original band Barton, performing songs from his solo album Gravity and his band album Changes.

He appeared on X factor Malta where all 3 of his auditions where selected and shared by xfactor global.

His raw powerful husky voice is full of emotion with a sound like it’s been smoked in whisky and honey.
