You know how sometimes people sound familiar, while also sound original and fresh? I'd say Wil Deynes is like that. Put Ben Folds, Dashboard Confessionals and Keane in a blender, hit the switch and the sound you hear will be Deynes.
Wil Deynes’ (pronounced Danes) soulful voice immediately grabs you. His urban melodies- that sound good on vinyl or a podcast- demand repeated listening. Not surprisingly, Deynes’ career has been taking off, with features in BLENDER and NPR to go along with an ever growing internet buzz. A Mac tech by day, Deynes’ debut EP Stay is very much a DIY project. Wil jokes that his motto is “100% determination, 25% procrastination, 125% DIY.” That attitude- focus on something and you’ll accomplish it- rings through loud and clear.
Not many singers can jump so effortlessly between the range of styles that Wil covers, but he shrugs it off. “I’m trying to reach people on different levels,” he says simply. The EP’s title-cut ‘Stay’ is a slow ballad, easily relatable to anyone who has ever loved and lost. On ‘Tired,’ Deynes gets moodier with a harder, rock edge. And ‘Super Wonderful’ is a pop gem that will have you singing along before it’s over.
In addition to the NPR feature and 1.5 million plays on myspace, Deynes has been featured on MyNetwork TV’s Desire, Wicked Wicked Game and Secret Obsessions, as well as MaximOnline’s Anna De La Garza video shoot. His songs ‘Stay’ and ‘Super Wonderful’ charted in the top 10 on American Idol Underground. ‘Say Goodbye’ was “Track of the Day” on garageband.com. Deynes is also becoming a favorite on the podsafe music network, getting spins on Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code and The Jersey Todd Show. The universal appeal of his songs is obvious, as many are in rotation on internet radio stations around the globe.
In an age where every artist is trying whatever they can to make a name for themselves, Wil Deynes is actually doing it. DIY-style.

Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.
