“From now on, it’s just about living truthfully,” the singer formerly known as Wiltay told Billboard. “It can only go up from here.” said Wils.

Taken from BillBoard:
“For a few years, Willie Tay was considered a rising pop star in Singapore’s music industry. Performing under his pseudonym Wiltay, the singer amassed a legion of more than 300,000 followers on his Instagram and was well on his way to a breakthrough in the music industry. It was during that time that the singer realized he was gay. “I just felt like I couldn’t be myself, being in the closet,” he tells Billboard. “I felt like it just affected a large part of my life … I was just constantly living in a lie.”

Wils posted the following on his official YouTube channel:

“Hey guys, This is my first music video since I came out as a Gay. Sadly.. I got dropped from my label in Asia after I came out of the closet.. But I’m okay! I’m really grateful for the support from my loved ones. I wouldn’t have made it this far without you guys. If this song meant something to you, I’ll be forever grateful if you could share it to your friends. I really hope this reaches the eyes of underrepresented LGBT kids in the world and I can only do that with your sharing. Life’s so much more fun when you’re being you. I promise! xoxo, Wils”
