*The Influence of Juice Wrld and The Kid LAROI
In modern music, few artists have left as profound an impact on the emotional and musical landscape as Juice Wrld, XXXTENTACION, and The Kid LAROI. Known for their raw lyricism, these artists are unafraid to storytell about their own personal struggles with mental health, relationships, and the human condition. Will Solus follows in their footsteps, drawing on similar themes to create songs that speak to the pain and hope of youth today.
Juice Wrld, in particular, was renowned for his ability to connect with audiences by addressing feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression, and addiction—issues that are becoming increasingly prominent among younger generations. In many ways, his music acted as a bridge between his personal experiences and those of his listeners, allowing them to feel seen and understood. Will Solus seeks to provide this same sense of empathy and connection in his own work, using his songs to convey a message of hope and perseverance.
