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.
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem, & some songs, on myspace... Poem 187 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): A SOUTH SHIELDS WALKABOUT - AUTUMN 2001
Out of the museum-and-gallery (Wiser on Cookson and the local way), Down Ocean Road with, to the right of me, Its eateries and, left, neat places to stay; Before, on either side, Marine Parks - The southern-one a most beautiful place, Teeming with moorhens, swans, grebes and mallards In a small lake at a scenic-hill’s base.
Then (holding chips from the parade’s cafe And, thus, a flock of gulls squawking above) Onto the South Pier I made my way: Seeing seaweed over rocks - like a glove - And high-and-dry sands held from transgression By growth of grass and the weaving of wood, Plus, in the dim light of a sleepy sun, Fishing boats returning to Tynemouth’s hood.

What's a NACA Nationals? Is that like NASCAR or NHRA drag races? Did you know down here at Atlanta Motor Speedway we had Pork, the other white meat as a sponsor? Instead of the Atlanta 500, we had the "White Meat 500" Races. For some reason, they only sponsored one race.....I guess that made it a "White Race". Yep, it's okay to laugh at us Rednecks being proud of the "White Meat 500". NASCAR is the only sport you can watch and follow while hammered. The cars just go round n round making left turns at 200 mph. Don't forget the Pork Rinds and Beer!
