French DJ, producer, and singer Willy William got his start in the chart-topping group Collectif Métissé before launching a solo career. Eclipsing the European charts with his massive 2015 single "Ego" and going on to global recognition through a 2017 collaboration with reggaeton star J Balvin, "Mi Gente," he successfully combined self-aware, socially conscious lyrics with hard-partying music. Following the success of a "Mi Gente" remix featuring Beyoncé, William collaborated with additional stars such as Jason Derulo, David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, and Sean Paul.
