You might know Wes Nelson as a contestant on the infamous reality dating show Love Island, but has since rebranded himself as a singer-songwriter, following the success of his appearance on the show.
He skyrocketed to success upon his introduction to the music industry with his debut single ‘See Nobody’, featuring Hardy Caprio, which reached UK platinum status. Nelson has also collaborated with other artists such as Yxng Bane and their single ‘Nice to Meet Ya’ and Clean Bandit and their single ‘Drive’. In short, Nelson is so much more than a reality show star.
He showed passion for music from a young age, often performing with a karaoke machine for his friends and family, marking the start of his successful career as a performer and artist. Although, his talents don’t stop there. Nelson is multifaceted, and was a gifted sportsperson as a youngster. He had a promising football career and balanced that with Muay Thai kickboxing and a brief stint as a Nuclear System Design Engineer before committing to his now very successful music career.
