While spending a week clearing his head during a trip to the Himalayas, Wiwek has come up with the “The Free and Rebellious” concept. This concept is the basis and main focus of his musical direction for 2016. As Wiwek mentions himself, the “The Free and Rebellious” ideology fits his personality perfect.
“Me as a person is exactly this, when everybody goes left, I take a look, observe and decide myself if I take the road left, right, straight or in between. This can be heard in my music, my socials, my life choices and this will develop even more over time, with new music, crazy stuff for socials, visuals and merchandise. Creating a cool unique brand!”
