Willy Cardiac
Willy Cardiac is here to bridge South Africa and the States. Recently turning 19-years-old, he’s already well on his way to fulfill this very mission, serving as the second African artist on RADAR, Spotify’s global emerging artists program featuring artists from over 50 markets around the universe.
Willy describes himself as “a trap and mosh pit sensation from Africa. I’m bringing the trap vibes from Africa to the whole world, that’s what I’m trying to do.” While most African artists can be a superstar in their home countries, the majority don’t get recognized on a global scale.
It was his 2017 debut single “Sippy Dippy” that would become an instant viral sensation, dubbing his growing fanbase the Willy Gang. Fast forward to 2020, his single “Fan of Me” arrived as the perfect blend of high energy and Trap&B, embodying thump, rhythm and a fire verse from Eric Bellinger.
