Getting To Know: Will Sass

Will Sass blends genres effortlessly to create a sound that’s both fresh and cohesive. With a knack for production, engineering, and performance, his tracks combine sharp technical skills with raw creativity, delivering thought-provoking lyrics and hooks that stick.

Over the past year, Will has teamed up with artists like Baltra, Otik, and Catching Cairo, while also lighting up stages at venues like Brooklyn Mirage, Elsewhere, and Surf Lodge. Known for his high-energy shows and genre-blurring sound, he’s shared the spotlight with talents like Barry Can’t Swim, shallou, and Amtrac.

Now, Will Sass is back with his new single ‘Into The Blue’ featuring Grammy-winning songwriter Kamille. Following his debut ‘Alicia (feat. Alvin Risk),‘ this track pulses with vibrant beats and Kamille’s soulful vocals, co-written with the artist behind hits for Fred again.. and Stormzy. It’s a dancefloor anthem that shows Will is just getting started.

Reflecting on the creative process behind the new single, Will shares, “It started with a simple room recording, capturing the atmosphere around me, which is often how I begin. As I added layers, I was inspired by the acid house movement that swept the UK in the late ‘80s and the nostalgic Ibiza vibes of the ‘90s. That blend of energy drove the song’s direction.”

Reflecting on her collaboration with Will, Kamille shares, “Will is one of the most talented people I’ve ever met and it was such an honor to work with him on ‘Into The Blue.’ Every time I hear it, it feels like an escape, and I hope it does the same for everyone else.” 

Will echoes her sentiment, “I love working with Kamille. Her energy is contagious, and I’m so grateful to collaborate with someone who brings that spark to the studio. Her lyrics perfectly capture the feeling we were aiming for, and for me, that’s the pinnacle of songwriting—when the music and the mood are perfectly in sync.”

We sat down with him to talk about his journey so far and what’s next!

Hey Will Sass, welcome to DT. How’s your year going?

The year is going great! Excited to get this new music out in the world. 

Can you introduce yourself for anyone who doesn’t know you?

My name is Will Sass

Where are you based currently?

Currently based in NY, born and raised!

What inspired you to get into music?

I’ve always been surrounded by music growing up. Whether that was listening to music in the car as a kid— I remember a lot of Linkin Park and Snow Patrol. Also going to nightclubs and raves in NYC, definitely led to my spark to start producing electronic music. In terms of making music, I always had feelings that I wanted to chase, I just had to wait for my technical abilities to catch up! 

Who are your biggest musical influences?

I’m inspired by savants like Mark Ronson, Kevin Parker, Kaytranada. They have their own sounds but are genre-less and timeless. 

How would you best describe your sound?

Atmospheric, warm, at times…emotional. 

What is your best advice to anyone starting out, in the industry, as a producer?

It took me a while to get to my first release. I spent a lot of time refining my craft. With modern-day technology, it’s become a lot easier with YouTube and Mix With The Masters! And I would say make the most of what you have, you don’t need a lot of equipment to get started.  Listening to my favorite producers and artists speak and explain their processes and craft always helps and is inspiring. Also, every time I work with someone new, I pick up a new trick I add to my arsenal. 

What are your hobbies outside of music and production?

Photography, fashion, and collecting things such as rare books. Living in NY I spend a lot of time exploring in the streets. It’s very easy to get inspired living here. I’ve made a lot of music after a night out at 6 am. And even when it’s during the day, I find it’s helpful to put myself in that vulnerable, emotional 6am state while creating. 

Are you working on any new material?

Of course, I’m just getting started! I have 4 EPs to come out this year, which will be worked into an album at the end of 2025.

What can we expect from you, in the next year?

A lot of music. A lot of collaborations, remixes and alternative versions of my original tracks. I did two remixes for each original, which will come out on the deluxe versions of the EPs!

What’s been the highlight of your career so far?

Probably playing Brooklyn Mirage. That was a really fun opportunity that shed light on what this could turn into. I’ve been going to that venue as a fan for years, so it felt special to play music on that iconic stage. 

Thanks for taking the time to talk to us!

With hundreds of unreleased tracks, a debut EP on the horizon, and shows lined up across the US and Europe, Will is gearing up to make a big impact. This rising star is just getting started—watch this space!
