Will Parker's debut

The Beat

Available for over a year

In his first-ever radio interview, Will Parker sits down with Dean Jackson to talk about the journey behind his voice and his music. He shares how he first discovered his singing voice — both at home and while working on a building site — and opens up about the artists who shaped him. Will reflects on: the first gig he ever went to, what he loves most about making music, and some performers he admires. He also dives into the story behind his debut single “Mindless State” — where it came from, what inspired it, and what it means to him. Will talks about his recent support slots and his excitement for his debut headline show at The Beckwood in Scunthorpe, a venue that holds real personal significance.
