I got an email the other day about an up and coming artist out of Atlanta name Willie HyN. After reading his bio, I listened to a few of his songs. They are actually pretty good. I am into different music and I love the uniqueness from him. He is like B.O.B mixed with Lenny Kravitz.
Read his bio below:
Formerly known as Sir Will is a songwriter, musician, and rapper known for his stylistic choice of music, unique sound, and originality. His sound covers many musical genres which include rock, jungle, funk, hip hop, and pop. The eclectic range of influences apparent in his music includes Prince, Andre 3000, LiL Wayne, Kanye West, Cold Play, and DeAngelo.
Willie Hyn grew up in Stone Mountain, Georgia and attended Forest Hill Academy where he graduated with honors. Willie Hen began searching for himself trying to capture a unique identity through music. He started performing at open mic events throughout Atlanta for two years incessantly, adding up to over 200 performances determined to be discovered. He took that time to examine himself, maximize his capabilities, and evaluate his life overall. Willie Hen became a familiar face around Atlanta winning several talent shows hosted by radio station Hot107.9 ATL Talent, which led to an opportunity to perform at the Birthday Bash, BET Blaze the Stage, and many other high-profile events. He honed his skills and went on to win a number of talent contests. This success attracted many record label representatives and landed him a deal with Jive Records. However, a year after being represented by Jive Records and one single release, Willie Hen decided to part ways with the label due to creative differences.
In 2009, inspired by Andre 3000’s band, “The Love Haters”, Willie Hyn decided to produce arrangements for another band that became known as “The Rose Parade.” He later signed with Avalon Music Group (AMG) to manage his career. He was mentioned in the March 2009 issue of Atlanta’s Rolling Stone magazine after performing at a showcase featuring Lil’ Wayne, which is the most memorable moment in his music career thus far. He is the CEO of The Roses are Red Art Club and the leader of “Da Royal Republic”, his affiliation of very talented up and coming stars. Willie Hen has released three installments in his “Road 2 Rose” mixture series including “The Rose Dawson edition”, “The Detour”, and “The Detour 2: The Power Trip”. Willie Hen’s performance at New York’s SOB club has only added credibility to his exquisite sound and talent. He has toured in Germany with other large Atlanta artists such as Nivea and Rasheeda. This is only the beginning for Willie Hen and he has already won the hearts of many. The magnitude of his creative and distinctive sound will only continue to captivate music lovers worldwide.
Willie Hyn released his project Boy in a Balloon in late 2011 with 11 tracks that take the listener on an adventure through a world with the “skyyppl”. Be on the lookout for many more Willie Hyn and REPUBLiiC projects this spring and summer 2012.
