Wantie has been working hard leading up to the release of his debut single and it is a moment he’s been dreaming of.

“I am really excited that it’s finally going to be out and people can get to hear all the hard work we’ve put in,” he said. “My hope is that people can take away who I am as an artist and what my music is about from this single. Hopefully the music speaks to them on a level that makes them want to be part of my journey.”

And Brad Kylnsmith adds: ‘It’s always rewarding when you get to work with a great guy that has genuine talent. No doubt in my mind that he’s going to explode.”

Go Under will be released exclusively on iTunes and Apple Music on November 20. Like Josh Wantie on Facebook to be the first to see the announcement – https://www.facebook.com/joshwantenaar.
