Nowadays, Sr. Wilson faces his career with a fresh look to the influences of the most current sounds and trends: Afrobeats, “Boom Bap” or even influences in the field of Trap, working hard to get closer and closer to a very personal yet fresh and current sound, as demonstrated in his latest EP “4 Flores”, co-produced with the talented producer Genís Trani. Furthermore, we have seen him in his latest successful singles with luxury collaborations such as “Stay Homa” collaborating with the renowned artists “Stay Homas” (getting more than 6 million plays), or “My Driver” with Biga Ranx, one of the most respected figures of French hiphop/ragga, or “Minotauro”, produced by Griffi, a living legend and one of the fundamental pillars of the history of national Hip Hop, with whom he also performed at Cruïlla 2021 Festival. All this confirms that Sr. Wilson is on the top of his career, active, evolving and updated, fresh and personal and undoubtedly one of the most interesting artists of the moment.

All of this has been preceded by ten years of hard work and projecting as an artist with his first three albums (2012, 2015 and 2017), attracting the attention of the whole scene with his unique sound and the freshness of the sonority. He also performed at Viñarock, Rototom Sunsplash, Cabo de Plata, Etnosur, BAM, Lagata Reggae Festival, and also in many Catalan towns. Definitely Sr. Wilson is showing us he has still a lot to offer.
