Willy Moon (born June 2, 1989 in Wellington ; actually William Sinclair ) is a New Zealand musician living in London .

biography

Moon grew up largely without parents with an older sister from the age of 12. He left school at the age of 16 and two years later left for London. After losing his job and apartment there, he went with his girlfriend via Spain to Berlin in 2007, where he took his first musical steps. After a year he returned to London and began to publish his first songs on the Internet. His title I Wanna Be Your Man caught the label Luv Luv Luv on MySpace and got him a record deal.

The first releases followed, but an album that was announced for autumn 2012 had not yet been completed. Instead, his play was YeahYeah use in advertising for the iPod from Apple . Then the song was able to place itself in the charts.

Moon mixes classic 1950s rock 'n' roll with modern sounds and techniques.

Moon has been in a relationship with British pop singer Natalia Kills since 2014 .

In 2015, Moon and Kills were judges on the New Zealand version of the talent show  The X Factor . After verbal attacks on a candidate, they were removed from the jury by the broadcaster after more than 70,000 people campaigned for them in an online petition within 24 hours.
