William Singe

Songwriting was definitely first. I started singing, and then I was rapping; then I went back to singing. As I was growing up, I just taught myself piano and guitar.

No one's going to put in the effort you are for your career.

My career has been going better than expected, and I'm grateful.

Some people would say, 'Nah, he's just a YouTube kid.' But I sing, play instruments; I can mix, master, and engineer - all those stuff.

I'm trying to break away from doing covers or from being considered only as a YouTube star. I'm a singer, songwriter, sound engineer, and producer.

I was so naive to think once you sign, it's all good, and you are a superstar.

I was raised by my father, who was a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and bass player. His brothers all did the same thing, so I was kind of always raised around the music.

I see a lot of Filipino fans supporting me, so I want to give back the love.

For everyone who hated, there are a hundred people who showed me love, and so, you know, I'm going to spend time showing them love than focusing on the negatives.

There are a lot of singers, but they weren't doing it the way I was, taking an Adele song and putting a hip hop beat behind it to make it a different song.

I'd like to write about whatever is going on with me at that point of time or situations I'm - which I'm sure a lot of people can relate with. I mean, I'm a deep person. I'd like to dig deep into the psyche, but at the same time, you make things that are gonna lift everyone up.

Deep down inside, I do feel, at times, that I have to prove to people that I'm actually an artist.
