William Beckett (Session #2)

Ex Academy Is… front man William Beckett has strayed from punky roots on a new trajectory toward full-blown pop. Glimmering production and slick melodies highlight the extravagance of his new style. His joyous, smirking performance is accentuated by sly lyricism and an insatiable charm.

His electronic debut, Genuine and Counterfeit, shines brightly as a meticulously designed pop project. Its addictive melodies and boisterous choruses are balanced against William’s softer, more ballad oriented tunes. His youthful energy and cunning approach to songwriting make him a staple and a stand out in the scene.
