Will Moseley

Artist Information

A proud small town Southern Country boy who spends a lot of time outdoors, Will Moseley doesn’t stay on his cell phone a whole lot – and when the handful of Instagram and TikTok videos he had posted caught the attention of American Idol producers looking for talent on social media, the Hazlehurst GA singer/songwriter’s first response was, “These folks don’t have anything for me, I’m not the right fit.” Agreeing to listen to the encouragement of his ever-supportive buddies who kept telling him to give it a shot, he committed to the audition process, starting with five rounds of Zoom calls, then singing for (and blowing away) the judges in person. A few months after Lionel Richie (who said his “voice is amazing”), Katy Perry and Luke Bryan exclaimed, “Welcome to Hollywood” and gave him the coveted Golden Ticket at his live audition in Bryan’s hometown of Leesburg, GA, Will was the last man standing. To his great surprise, his growing legion of fans across the country voted him through round after round, week after week, until his triumphant finish as Season 22 runner up to Abi Carter. In the months since Idol, Will has released multiple singles which have given fans a taste of his versatility and artistic vision, blending nostalgia with a down to earth Southern vibe and charm. One of the biggest changes in Will’s life as a performer post-Idol is playing ticketed gigs at venues with up to 2500 seats. In addition to a show with fellow small-town Georgian and country rapper Kid-G, he co-headlined a Southern-Midwestern tour in the fall of 2024 with fellow American Idol Season 21 contestant Colin Stough. Having also toured with three-time Grammy winning superstar Zac Brown Band, the singer joined them for a special New Year’s Eve show at State Farm Arena in Atlanta – his first ever arena show. He has also played shows with country stars Clint Black, Marshall Tucker and recently performed with Riley Green and Ella Langley at Gata Jam 2025 in Statesboro Georgia. Beyond his inspiring Idol success story, perhaps the most amazing aspect of Will’s burgeoning career is the fact that while his mom gave him his first guitar for Christmas when he was 16, he didn’t start playing it till 19 – and didn’t start getting serious about playing and songwriting until the pandemic lockdown during his time at Georgia Southern, which he transferred to from Maryville College where he played Division III football. Following three serious concussions, when he wasn’t studying, he shifted his focus to music and never looked back
