Will’s late father was the frontman for a band that formed in the 80’s called “The Vaccuum” and is a big part of McClean’s inspiration to continue his musical legacy. Having also been surrounded by music in his home for the majority of his life, Will says
“with Mum blasting artists like Bob Marley, Lauryn Hill and Fat Freddy’s Drop all day, everyday; I used to be rapping and singing along and it ultimately made me gravitate to creating some flows for myself.”
His ever expanding list of inspirations consist of the likes of Tom Scott, Loyle Carner, J Cole to name a few. McClean’s latest single “Ego Prison” was released at the end of April ’22 and is currently recording and mixing a six track EP, which is set for release this coming summer. He is steadily making his way through more speakers and onto more stages around New Zealand and beyond.
