Artist Detailed Info: Wilson Blackley

Born in Melbourne, Australia, Wilson Blackley's musical journey started at an early age, picking up his first pair of drumsticks at just two years old.


He was raised on his mother's record collection, absorbing a large variety of genres. From acts like The Beatles, Elton John and Jimi Hendrix to the Stax and Motown collection, Wilson developed an ear for the classic sounds of that era.


At the early age of 7, Wilson started producing music in his bedroom, and by 15-years-old was playing his own headline shows.


"(Wilson is) fast becoming one of Melbourne's alternative-soul's pre-eminent shining stars" — Australian Independent Record Labels Association


"Wilson Blackley is an artist whose lyricism, musicianship, and artistry is far beyond his years, and possesses an innate ability to speak directly to the soul. It's rare for an artist to release a debut single so powerful, but clearly, artists like Blackley are a rare breed." — Tyler Jenke, Editor, Rolling Stone Australia.

Wilson has already gained impressive live opportunities – festivals like NYE on The Hill, Ocean Sounds and Brunswick Music Festivals; joining lineups with The Teskey Brothers, Boy & Bear and more.
