Beamer Wigley

Country Singer-Songwriter

Who are your inspirations? (as in other artists)

I always try to pull my inspiration from every corner of music. Keith Urban was the really big first inspiration I had, but the artists that have really been inspiring me lately are Alec Benjamin, Sasha Sloan, Charlie Puth, among MANY others.

When did you first start singing?

I was 7 years old when my guitar teacher at the time recommended that I sing at a talent competition that I signed up for. Up until that point I had absolutely no interest in being a singer, I really only wanted to play guitar and drums. But, I tried it, and I fell in love with it! Singing and playing on stage became the only thing I want to do for the rest of my life.

What did your family do to encourage you?

They are always so supportive. Knowing that they always have my back and are willing to help me chase all the crazy dreams I have is the most encouraging thing in the world.

Who are your musical inspirations?

I take my inspirations from the artists I mentioned above but often find something special in other artists that I find and listen to.

What kind of music do you listen to today?

My music taste is all over the place. I’ve been on a large Jazz and Funk bend lately. A lot of Vulfpeck, a lot of Snarky Puppy. But I love listening to everything, because music is like a language, the more you hear it especially if it’s a diverse range of feels and genres, you’re going to understand it more!

What embarrassing songs might I find on your playlist?

Too many, wayyyyy too many. My phone is littered with guilty pleasure songs.

Where would you most like to perform?

The Grand Ole Opry has kind of always been my dream venue to perform at. But honestly, I would most like to play all over the world, as many places as I can.

Who would you most like to open for?

I think I have to say Keith Urban just because he is the reason I got into music, he gave me the spark I needed to set out on this crazy journey I’ve been on for the past decade. So being able to open for him would really be this crazy full circle moment.

If you weren’t singing, what would you be doing?

Music production for sure. Being completely on the other end of the album making process would be really cool. I’m really lucky that I get to work very closely with my producer to create my records. But being a full time producer, working with different artists, creating new unique bodies of work, that would be really fascinating.
