WESLEY PREIS | Songwriting, Sharing, Siken, and Closure
Infusing jazz and indie influences into her music, 20 year old singer and songwriter Wesley Preis has a sophistication to her sound that beautifully compliments the vulnerability of her lyrics. Hailing from San Diego, Wesley Preis currently studies at UCSD and has opened for the likes of Olive Klug at the Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles.
Preis has garnered a fair bit of TikTok fame — namely for her viral video beeping the introduction to Radiohead’s “No Surprises,” which received over 750k views on the app and almost 200k likes. It seems for Preis that the effortless videos are what simultaneously showcases her talent and humor. Most recently, a video of her creating a Mindcraft rendition of Lucy Dacus’ “Night Shift” gained over 160k views, and a creative mash-up of Dear Evan Hansen and Ice Spice accumulated over 650k.
Most notably, her song “Loose Fitting Bedsheet” struck a cord with listeners on the app, and has already received almost 200,000 streams on Spotify. On this episode of Flashlight Podcast, we break down the story behind the track, explore what makes a good or bad relationship, and talk a little too much about Richard Siken.
