We've teamed up with W!ZARD Radio Station, the leading online teen radio station, dedicated to playing your favourite music before you know it. WR are picking a track from emerging UK talent every week that they predict will make it big to showcase here, on the BPI blog.
Great Missenden in Buckinghamshire is home to the Roald Dahl Museum, was a temporary home of “Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” writer Robert Louis Stevenson and Jamie Cullum also lives there. Other than that, and the fact it’s occasionally used as a location for scenes of “Midsomer Murders”, it’s credits aren’t overly numerous.
Now introducing an artist who just may be able to change all of that – Nick Wilson.
The singer-songwriter started releasing covers on YouTube a year ago (his 6 minute cover of Ariana Grande’s “Into You” is a must listen) which turned our attention to an extensive back catalogue of original music dating back as far as 2013.
Whilst his 2017 single “Miles Apart” has 2.2M streams on Spotify, and 2015’s “Closer” has 2M streams, it’s his most recent single – “Headlights” released at the end of 2017 – which has us most excited. In the song, he manages to delicately balance acoustic pop with synth, the result of which is a painful love song about feeling stuck.
