His music is an eclectic blend of acoustic, melodic art/folk infused with elements of jazz, vaudeville, and cabaret. He has released twelve solo albums, each earning critical acclaim and international airplay. His songs have been covered by artists across the UK, Canada, and the U.S., with two full-length tribute albums - Crazy Puzzle (2015) and Wide Open Heart (2017) - produced independently by other performers and composed entirely of Wates' material. In 2016 alone, over 20 cover recordings of his songs were released.
