"Often compared to bands like Dashboard Confessional, Snow Patrol and Jimmy Eat World, With a recent feature in BLENDER magazine, Wil's debut EP 'Stay' is a mixture of up-tempo commercial pop, that runs from laidback to hard-driving—and everything in between."
Wil Deynes’ clear, soulful voice immediately grabs you. And his urban melodies—that sound good on vinyl or a podcast—make you want to come back for a second listen. Not surprisingly, Deynes’ career has been taking off, including a recent feature on NPR’s Open Mic, a huge myspace response and growing internet buzz.
Fans are surprised to find out that he didn’t lay out big bucks on his debut EP, Stay. (Actually, he recorded it in his hallway.) A Mac tech by day,DIY is something he lives: “my motto is ‘100% determination, 25% procrastination,’” he jokes. But that attitude –focus on something and you’ll accomplish it—rings through loud and clear.
Wil’s music career almost never happened. An avid bassist, composer and singer, he’d write and play songs for his wife (sorry ladies), but never did anything with them. She felt he had talent, and pushed him to hire a producer…the rest is history. Wil’s upbeat, follow-life-wherever-it-may-lead vibe pervades all of his tunes.
Not many singers can jump so effortlessly between the range of styles Wil covers, but he shrugs it off. “I’m trying to reach people on different levels,” he states. On Stay, Wil plays a slow ballad, up-tempo commercial pop, moodier mid-tempo pieces and a harder, edgier rock track "tired". 'Stay' runs from laidback to hard-driving—and everything in between.
Wil is influenced by all the great songwriters and singers and his record collection includes everything from Sinatra through the 80s to today’s Top 40 (Really, come over some time and have a look.) And Wil is always listening for inspiration—whether it’s to people talking on the subway, arguing and laughing on the streets of his Bronx neighborhood, or by just checking out other NYC artists.
At this rate, Wil may have to pack up the Mac toolkit for good. Besides that NPR feature and 300,000 plays on myspace, he’s been featured on MyNetwork TV's Desire and Fashion House and Maxim Online’s Anna De La Garza Video Shoot. His single “Stay” charted #2 on American Idol Underground; As well as his follow up single “Super Wonderful” charting in the top 10. As well as currently charting daily on many online internet radio stations like the “Daily Countdown” on TBIG Radio.
100% determination, 25% procrastination’ might be bad math, but it’s definitely adding up for Wil Deynes.
