WFS has seen success garnering over 413K streams on Spotify and landing radio play on over 180 stations around the world, including Huw Stephens on Radio 1, Jo Whiley on Radio 2, 6 Music and Flux Fm. With features in British GQ and Holland’s JFK Magazine.
"With music, I’m always trying to cheer myself up first - It’s like free therapy for me. And then ultimately others, I really enjoy making people feel better. That’s the ultimate aim."
