Rising Music Artist Jon Wiilde Talks About Performing Live And His New Single ‘This Is War’

This California artist is amazing!

From his impressive discography of songs like ‘Casey’ and ‘Beach’, it makes sense that Jon Wiilde has over 2 Million streams on his music. He recently released a new single titled ‘This Is War’. And spoiler alert: it’s a bop.

We had the amazing honor of talking with Jon about a name for his fanbase, his upcoming EP, and more!

When did you first realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

J: “It didn’t feel like a career choice, it felt like a life path. Like I knew music was going to be a driving force as soon as I picked up my first instrument when I was 12.”

Tell us more about your amazing new single ‘This Is War’.

J: “It’s the jam all the homies love haha. Started it in my hometown studio set up and got to cut the vocals out in Memphis at Royal Studios where Al Green made all his records. The energy was unbelievably cool.”

If you had to choose, what has been your favorite song you have released so far, and why?

J: “I don’t have to choose and I won’t! Haha no but really it’s like choosing your favorite child, they all are special in their own way.”

We love watching videos of you performing! What do you love the most about performing live?

J: “Getting to connect, a good show feels like what church is supposed to feel like ya know? A gathering of humans coming together to connect with one another over something greater than ourselves. And we get to do it through music. F*** yeah.”

You have over 2 Million streams on Spotify! What has been your reaction to your rising fame?

J: “Oh rad, didn’t know that. No reaction really, just steady on the course to get the music to the people. Blessed for every set of ears who presses play.”

We think you definitely need a name for your fan base! Any ideas?

 J: “Wiildlings.”

We hear that you are releasing an EP soon! Can you tease what fans can expect?

J: “A cover art where my pupils are massively dilated.”

Where can we follow your amazing journey?

J: “@jonwiilde everywhere. Thank you for your time and talking, much love.”
