Pop star Willie Tay or as his hundreds of thousands of fans around the world know him, Wils, has found a second chance at international stardom in Hollywood.
Despite facing oppression in Asia, Wils has never stopped making music. The rising star was dropped by his high profile Chinese recording label after coming out as gay and immediately lost all of his followers on social media when they deleted his accounts.
In Singapore, there’s a law that make homosexuality a criminal act and there is still a lot of censorship of LGBTQ content throughout Asia.
After years of hard work and attaining success against insurmountable odds, Wils was crushed. But he didn’t let that stop him.
