Van McCann, the founder, lead singer and rhythm guitarist for the Band Catfish and the Bottlemen. Van was born in Cheshire, England on Saturday, August 1, 1992 and in a little over a decade form the, “best emerging band in Britain”. Van McCann grew up in a small motel his parents owned, were he could hardly play guitar because it would wake up the guests. The bands fame really took off after the BBC had them on one of their programs. Vans networking attempts landed him a spot on the David Lettermen show. Vans realized alternative rock moving more and more far-fetched, so he capitalized against that trend and attempted to produce more conventual songs. This entrepreneur intuition has brought their band immense popularity. Van is a great example to the point that entrepreneurship is not always thinking outside the box its about understanding what people want. So many bands have to now make statement in their music, Catfish rather titles themselves just as a “brain dead British band that like smokin cigarettes and drinking tea”. This simplistic aesthetic has landed them with several significant awards such as, The album charted at number 10 on the Uk Album list  in the week ending 27 September 2014, was certified Silver in the UK on 9 January 2015, was certified Gold on 20 March 2015 and reached Platinum sales on 30 December 2016. Van McCann calculative plan and dedication makes him a true entrepreneur.
