Wiley Beckett

Hey I'm Wiley Beckett. I'm an indie/alt pop artist from Brooklyn, NY, writing all my own stuff and with an incredibly talented band backing me this summer. I've played tons of shows in the past (mainly in Boston where I go to college), including multiple sold out shows at a classic dive bar called the Cantab Lounge – which was featured on the front page of the New York Times back in December. Now I'm in NYC.

I’ve had about a hundred people tell me the best strategy for writing one of these bios but at the end of the day it all feels like smoke and mirrors. So I thought about what I could really honestly put here. Above all, I write for myself but I perform for my friends, so when it comes to pitching my music, I figured I’d defer to them. Here’s what they said:

“Wiley has an intellect and ability to critique and improve his own work that makes his ceiling limitless. He is his #1 person to go to for feedback, and truly the best have that ownership over their own music – think Frank Ocean, Still Woozy, Kanye. Wiley’s just going to make doper and doper stuff as he goes.” - THEO M.

"He captures the essence of an indie musician without any of the monotony, clearly challenging himself as a producer and composer just as much as a performer." - JAKE G.

“A witty writer, intelligent producer, and breezy frontman – all wrapped up in one good looking dude.” - REX T.

“Few artists rival Wiley’s balance between nostalgic charm, clever lyrics and earworm melodies. It’s his songs and concerts that will make me look back on my salad days.” - MICHAEL M.
