Emerging with a striking signature style, Will Linley delicately balances stark honesty and sunny songcraft. The South Africa-born singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist coats raw emotion with saccharine melodies, lamenting how bad heartbreak sucks on hummable hooks delivered with unfiltered candor. As such, he captures the whirlwind experience of Gen-Z life in his songs.
Will’s 2021 single “miss me (when you’re gone)” exploded with 17.4 million Spotify streams and went #1 on radio in South Africa where it also picked up a gold certification. It paved the way for his 2022 kill all my feelings EP, while the single “Last Call” generated another 12.9 million Spotify streams. Of the latter, OnesToWatch praised the “very punchy piano-buttressed chorus that screams car ride sing-along,” and The Line Of Best Fit professed, “Will Linley is making waves with heartbreak bangers and upbeat ballads.” Meanwhile, he shared stages with everyone from OneRepublic to Matthew Mole, and is now embarking on his own headline runs.
Will Linley has the energy, charisma and stage presence of a performed 10 years his seniors. Seeing him at the Mercury Lounge was the perfect show. It was small, personal, and full of energy. I can’t wait to follow along as he takes over the world.
Really fantastic show! So much energy! Beautiful music! Amazing vibe! Highly recommended!
What a great show. Will is an amazing performer, so much energy and a great voice! Drew Alexander was also fantastic. I am sure these 2 young men will go far. Loved the intimate venue with a great bar for drinks!
I had the best experience, Will is such a great performer. Would definitely love to see him in concert again.
