William Singe

William Singe is an Australian singer of Tongan and Fijian descent who first gained wide attention through YouTube covers and mashups of contemporary R&B, pop, and hip-hop hits before pursuing a solo recording career. His early rise was built on a run of viral cover videos, blending songs by artists across genres into slick, harmony-rich medleys that showcased his smooth R&B-leaning vocal style.

He competed on The X Factor Australia, which raised his profile domestically, and continued building an audience through collaborations with other online cover artists, including duets and mashups such as his take on ZAYN and Taylor Swift's «I Don’t Wanna Live Forever» and pairings with artists like Conor Maynard. His original material, including songs such as «Rush» and «Love You Like Me», leans into contemporary R&B and pop production with an emphasis on his vocal runs and falsetto.

Singe's career illustrates the path many 2010s artists took from YouTube cover culture into original artistry, using cover songs and mashups of hits like «Bad and Boujee» and «Pony» to build a fanbase before releasing his own catalog of R&B-inflected pop and rap-adjacent material.
