DIVO to watch: WILL W!

If there's one thing a dance-pop artist needs, it's ambition. The world is not kind to those who like to get a groove on, and radio, media, and the general public sometimes needs a kick in the pants to get over itself and get into a good, upbeat dance track. :)

With that in mind, we present Will W. He's definitely a DIVO to watch, because he's shown that he has the kind of ambition you need to work it out in the business. This Canadian singer financed the production of his debut album - Bodytalk, dropping September 27 - entirely on cash advances from his credit cards! He also dipped into savings from his day job in public relations (a day job which will likely serve him well in getting the word out about his music).



Here's the thing: unlike other indie releases, Will put his mind where his limited money was, and enlisted the help of top people to get the album together. That includes producer Adrian Eccleston (Nelly Furtado, Kylie Minogue) and sound engineering by George Graves, who helmed no less than U2's seminal "Joshua Tree" album.

Hot!

But best of all, Will is actually quite talented! His music is a dance-pop blend of Justin Timberlake, Madonna, a little George Michael. The guy is genuinely talented, and we're happy to see someone with guts and ambition on the scene (not much left of that out there!).
