Will Swinton is a New Zealand singer/songwriter with a knack for pairing relatable prose with earworm melodies. The Auckland native’s emotive, gravelly voice and ability to operate within multiple pop sub-genres have drawn comparisons to artists like the Kid Laroi and Ekkstacy. He released his first EP, Better Days, in 2023, with December arriving the following year.

Swinton started writing and recording his bedroom pop songs in his late teens and, by the age of 22, had landed three of those cuts, including “All for You,” in the Top Ten. Having conquered his home country and generated millions of streams and TikTok views, he relocated to Los Angeles. Signed to Capitol and working with Rory Noble (Burna Boy, Ruel), Swinton unveiled his debut EP, 2023’s Better Days, featuring the anthemic title cut, the pensive “Leave in the Morning,” and his signature hit “All for You.” Swinton kept the momentum going with “Daydream,” which reached number five on the New Zealand charts. 2024 saw the release of the gritty, Americana‑leaning “Walls,” which appeared on December, an introspective EP inspired by his travels between Los Angeles and Auckland. The ethereal “Find a Way” arrived in 2025, with the driving, alternative rock-leaning “Better Off” kickstarting 2026.
