Will Stetson

Will Stetson is an American singer and utaite who built his following through English covers of Japanese Vocaloid and anime-adjacent music on YouTube. His path was unconventional: after studying jazz in college, he left formal training behind to develop his craft independently, remaining largely unknown until his channel began gaining traction with covers of songs by producers like MikitoP.

Stetson's reputation grew alongside the rise of English-language utaite culture, where singers reinterpret Vocaloid and Japanese pop hits for global audiences. He has since moved beyond covers into original work, releasing his own Vocaloid composition using the VY1 voicebank and collaborating with producers on fan songs tied to major game franchises, including HoYoFair-affiliated projects for Genshin Impact, as well as music associated with Wuthering Waves and Infinity Nikki.

His biggest breakthrough came through collaboration: teaming up with fellow utaite Rachie on the official English version of «Mesmerizer», a song that quickly racked up millions of views and introduced his voice to a much wider international fanbase. Stetson's career reflects the growing crossover between Vocaloid fandom, mobile gaming soundtracks, and English-speaking online music communities.
