Rising from New York City’s legendary music scene, Willie Lock is quickly carving out his place in the world of country rock with his captivating sound and undeniable talent. Armed with a distinct style that pays homage to his roots in Maryland, Indiana, and West Virginia, Willie speaks from the heart with songs and stories that are impossible to ignore. His debut album, West Side Stories, was released at the end of 2023 and has already made waves, reaching half a million streams on Spotify and an impressive #5 on the iTunes Top Country Albums Chart. After studying vocal performance at Indiana University, Willie began writing his own songs as a release from the daily stress of conservatory life. It was a habit that became an obsession, and post-college, he went on to co-found the internationally acclaimed a cappella group Gentleman’s Rule, creating and producing viral videos and studio albums, as well as starring in a nationally televised concert special on PBS. With a successful and international five-year-run with Gentleman’s Rule in the books, Willie began writing the songs that would eventually become his debut album as a solo artist, pushing his talents and creativity in new directions to create an album that was true to his roots and own timeless style. West Side Stories is a testament to Willie’s unique blend of gritty New York character and classic country sensibilities. With a voice that echoes both raw authenticity and smooth charm, he paints vivid narratives of nostalgia, life, love, and the pursuit of dreams against the backdrop of energetic guitars and driving rhythms. To date, Willie’s work has been featured by MTV, Billboard, On Air With Ryan Seacrest, Country Central, and Country Swag. In addition to sharing the stage with artists such as Lainey Wilson, Kid Rock, Parker McCollum, Jake Owen, Pete Davidson, and Cuba Gooding Jr, Willie’s multifaceted career has lead to him acting roles in series such as HBO’s ‘And Just Like That’, Showtime’s ‘Billions’ and Amazon’s ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’.

Incorporating myriad genres, including Alt-country/Americana/Roots/Rock/Memphis Soul and even Reggae, this Michigan born artist has forged a truly unique style all his own.
With eight self-produced all original CD’s under his belt, Mike Struwin proves to be a gifted and prolific songwriter. Struwin’s music has received national acclaim, with soundtrack placement in two independent features.
