Friday Live: Will Linley performs his hit single 'Wrong Time'
South African singer Will Linley had everyone in their feels on Friday Live with his original song, 'Wrong Time'.
On Friday, South African singer Will Linley joined Breakfast with Martin Bester on Friday Live to perform his single, 'Wrong Time', live in studio.
The singer also took part in Martin Bester's Sing Ding, where he performed One Direction's 'Steal My Girl' in the style of Garth Brooks.
Linley, 21, can’t remember a time in his life without music. Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, a career in music was a distant dream as he grew up singing with his three brothers and studied classical singing in high school.

He began writing songs at a young age, and started teasing his music in 2020 on TikTok, where he found a global connection with fans through his honest lyricism and uplifting positivity.
The singer’s debut single, 'Miss Me (When You’re Gone)', evoked a universal connection amongst fans and gained major traction after Will teased it online. The song was released in November 2021 and has since gone #1 on radio in South Africa and has achieved Gold status.
Will released his debut EP, 'Kill All My Feelings', in July 2022 to radio success and critical acclaim, with Texx & The City saying Will is “leading the charge” for pop music in South Africa, and The Honey Pop describing Will as a “true star being born.”
