Willajay

First up! Get ready for an unforgettable performance by Willajay, the alternative pop sensation from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Fronted by the lyrical genius of Willa Edwards, Willajay blends classic sounds with contemporary production, weaving together disco, rock, metal, hip-hop, folk, and musical theatre influences. Supported by the dynamic trio of drummer Kendall Jones, guitarist Ezra Sena, and bassist Chris Alires, Willajay captures the raw vulnerability and empowering resilience of a young woman artist today. With themes of grief and self-discovery, their music invites listeners to imagine a world where women thrive despite adversity.
