Liam Anthony "William" Singe (born 2 July 1992) is an Australian singer, songwriter, and producer. He is most notable for his online videos that holds hundreds of millions of YouTube and Facebook views.
Singe started his career as a member of The Collective, an Australian boy band which was formed during the fourth season of The X Factor Australia in 2012, finishing in third place. The Collective subsequently signed with Sony Music Australia and released seven singles and a self-titled album. They disbanded after Singe left the group in 2015.
In 2014 and 2015, Singe recorded numerous R&B, pop, hip-hop and rap covers in his bedroom. In less than a year, he accumulated over two million Facebook fans, reached a number one position on Spotify, 20 million Spotify streams, and earned more than 100 million video views and a million subscribers on YouTube.
Singe was born and raised in Forestville, aka 'Forry', a suburb of northern Sydney. He is of Māori Australian descent.
William began recording music as a child, drawing inspiration from his father, a singer and songwriter from New Zealand.
He was a student at St Augustine's College in Brookvale and worked as a bank teller at the Commonwealth Bank in Dee Why.
In 2011, Singe auditioned for The X Factor in season three and made it to the end of the bootcamp stage.
In 2012, he auditioned for the fourth season singing Justin Bieber's "One Less Lonely Girl" (with added rap lyrics that Singe wrote himself) and received positive comments from the judges. He progressed to the super bootcamp stage.
