About Will Linley
For Will Linley, a career in music was a distant dream. The 20-year-old musician & songwriter, born & raised in Cape Town, South Africa, can’t remember a time in his life without music. He grew up singing with his three brothers & his mom & studied classical singing in high school. The singer’s debut single, Miss Me (When You’re Gone), was written last October, inspired by a real-life experience. The song got traction after Will teased it on TikTok, and he & his producers have refined the emotionally-wrought tune since.
Like all of Will’s music, Miss Me (When You’re Gone) evokes a universal connection & uplifting positivity. Whilst Will has found a global connection with fans thanks to TikTok, a platform to which he owes much of his success thus far, he is particularly excited about the South African connections that have been established whilst working on this project & he plans to continue collaborating with South African creatives, like Noble and the Miss Me (When You’re Gone) music video director Abongwe Booi.
”A phrase commonly used amongst South Africans is ‘We’re stronger together’ & that is something I want to bring through in my music,” Will notes, “It’s exciting to have the place I call home on display through my art.”
