“Extraterrestrial sound composer” might sound like a flex, but for winowilly it’s just facts. The New Jersey-born, Philly-bred, New Orleans-based producer has carved out a lane with his astral, dusty boom-bap — beats that sound like the cosmos but knock like the block. 🌌🥁
In this week’s Offstage with Okayplayer, Willy breaks down how fatherhood fuels his creativity: 🍼✨
“My most inspiring moments are being a father… telling stories with my kids, watching cartoons, playing outside. A lot of my musical ideas come in those moments — and I run back to the machines.”
From crafting beats with his newborn on his lap (yes, some that landed with Cavalier + Your Old Droog 👀 to building interstellar textures that feel both timeless and futuristic, Wino Willy proves living life is the process.
Tap in now to catch the full convo — only on Offstage with Okayplayer, where culture talks back. 🎛
