Will O’ The Whisperer
Pronouns: they/them hen/hun
Will o' the Whisperer is a Scottish/Dutch eclectic Folk/Pop musician and storyteller who is inspired by the weirdness of the world around them. They write songs with catchy melodies and unique lyrics and give voice to stories that will make you smile and look differently at the people around you. They champion solidarity and political change and hope to build towards a world where everyone has a space to not fit in.
As an independent artist they have supported artists such as Hallo Venray (NL), Laura Silverstone(UK), Derek Zanetti (US) en Ben Brown (UK)
As a storyteller they have worked closely with DISC in Den Haag and Tell Me More in Leiden. They have created a podcast collection of 22 stories inspired by Scottish folklore. They weave together modernity and tradition to create stories that reach out to the people of the past and create generational connection where society would try and create division.
Their podcast Fortunes Told is available on podcasting platforms and is entirely self written, recorded, edited and distributed (music and words). The story collection is also available to download on their Bandcamp or with the purchase of the Fortunes Fold Oracle cards.
Their debut EP, SMACK! Is available on all platforms and tells 4 unique queer love stories against a background of historical events in the complicated political history of lipstick.
