Will Westerman, known mononymously as Westerman, is a London-based singer-songwriter and musician whose evocative sound blends indie pop with artful electronic and sophisti-pop elements. Emerging in the late 2010s with a series of singles that showcased his ethereal vocal style and introspective songwriting, Westerman quickly garnered attention for his ability to intertwine poetic lyrics with intricate melodic structures. His work carries a peaceful yet emotionally resonant quality, brimming with thoughtful reflection on personal and existential themes.

Westerman's debut full-length album, "Your Hero Is Not Dead," released in June 2020, was met with critical acclaim, with songs that weave gentle, guitar-driven melodies with lush synth landscapes to create introspective anthems. Following the album's success, Westerman continued to explore his sound with subsequent releases such as "An Inbuilt Fault" and its deluxe edition, which include reimagined and remixed versions of his original work, like the Maria Somerville remix of "Waiting On Design" and the Unknown Mortal Orchestra remix of "Drawbridge." With each new release, Westerman solidifies his reputation as a meticulous craftsman of modern pop music, garnering a following that appreciates his subtle approach to songcraft and his ability to evoke complex emotions with a deft touch.
