Read the WiLL WYLIN Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
What is up world. My name is Will Campbell, but on stage I go by WILL WYLIN. I am a United States native, who grew up in different parts of the Midwest and am currently stationed in Minneapolis, MN. My whole music project is based around the ideas I had of what i felt the electronic scene is missing. As 2018 rolls around i'm excited to continue the journey to "finding my sound" and bridging the gap between every sub-genre of electronic music.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
It's crazy the progression that this type of music has seen within such a short period of time. Oddly enough, many of my influences have remained the same since i first dove straight into the DJ/production aspect in 2014. Datsik, Excision and Virtual Riot have all been huge influences of mine over the years, and all for different reasons! Of course there are many new comers that I have a huge amount of respect for but within such a rapidly changing industry, these three have held their ground and been able to offer seemingly endless new takes on the music which really inspires me.
What´s new right now?
I think 2018 is going to offer a ton of new challenges and also a ton of new rewards for my career. As the year unfolds, I will be hitting new venues across the US and also pumping out more songs than I have in the past. I think Instagram is huge right now for connecting with an audience and building relationships with fans, so i will be concentrating most on keeping that platform updated and relevant this year! If you want to follow my journey, hear sneak peaks of new music, or toss me a question, definitely hit me up on instagram! https://www.instagram.com/willwylin/

Do you have good promotion tips for other musicians?
I feel the number one mistake everyone makes when they get into the music industry is that they become too self perpetuated or greedy off the bat. I haven't heard many stories (if any) about a musician in this age who made it big without a solid team. My best advice would be to build a strong team and push each other, leave your ego in the dust.

What has been your biggest challenge right now? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?
I think my biggest challenge right now is overcoming mental writers block when making music. In an industry that is so saturated, I often struggle to make music that i feel is "good enough" or "unique enough." This is turn really leaves me with a dis-satisfied taste in my mouth and I end up scrapping or never finishing a lot of tunes because of this.
