Wes Nelson has already linked up with huge names in music, including Craig David, as he continues to make waves in the industry and he has big dreams for the future
Wes Nelson has revealed he has big dreams as he continues to make waves in the music industry. The former Love Island star, 27, has already collaborated with huge names, including Clean Bandit, French Montana and his icon Craig David, who featured on the banger, Abracadabra.
But he has his eyes firmly set on an artist over the pond for a future dream link-up. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, he admitted he would love to work with Justin Bieber.
Wes told us: “He hasn’t released a lot of songs in recent years,” before joking: “I know he’s working on other bits, but if he hears this, it’s little Wes Nelson a bloke from Stoke – give me a shout!”
However, he admits he is still in dreamland with his connection to the Seven Days singer. “The Craig one [collaboration] was obviously extra special,” he said.
Explaining further how the pairing happened after he was performing in Ibiza, Wes said: “We sort of got talking about getting in and doing a track, and I had a sort of a bit of a track in mind that I already had pre written.
And then we came in and Craig, “Craigified” it, and we made it. The Abracadabra one was really special to me, because Craig’s just such an idol. And it obviously it was a collaboration, but at the same time, it did feel like the start of a friendship. So I think there’s two wins in everything.”
And he joked at being in awe of Craig’s preparation for any gigs. “He’s been doing it since he was 16,” Wes said. “We literally performed a couple of days ago. He sounds just as incredible if not better than he did when he first started.
“The guy coughs a little bit and clears his throat. That’s his warm up, and he’s ready to go. I just don’t understand how he does it. But obviously it’s super inspirational and he’s one of the nicest people in the industry that I know, for sure.”
Ahead of his upcoming summer shows and Ibiza gigs, Wes has linked up with Lipton Ice Tea Kombucha, creating a catchy track titled Kombucha-cha. He is set to perform at Battersea Power Station on Friday, June 13 and has promised those in attendance a “hell of a performance”, saying the set looks “insane”.
As well as Wes’ performance on the day, fellow Love Island alum Curtis Pritchard will be offering free dance lessons at the event.
As for the future, the Nice To Meet Ya singer says his main goal at his upcoming gigs and future releases is to “get people dancing”. “I don’t feel like we’re moving enough,” he confessed
“Everyone can dance. Whether you can dance good or not is completely up to opinion. I just want to get people moving, spread some positivity, and yeah, just bring people together.”
The Lipton Kombucha Ambassador added: “We all need a little more joy in our lives, and nothing makes you feel alive more than moving your feet.”
And in a fun reference to his new tune, he said: “Whether you’re dancing in your bedroom or out with your mates in the sunshine, let’s bring the fun back – one dance and one Kombucha-cha at a time!”
