Los Angeles singer-guitarist Will Paquin today unleashes his electrifying new single, ‘Hahaha,’ just as his inaugural UK/EU tour kicks off this week. Engineered to detonate with energy from the first guitar strike, ‘Hahaha’ serves as a potent preview of the high-octane performances awaiting audiences at Paquin’s debut international shows.

Of the track, Paquin states,

It’s me breaking out of the isolated bedroom that spawned a lot of my earlier tracks. I wanted a song I could shout and that could be screamed right back at me.

Originally from Boston and now based in Los Angeles, Will Paquin first garnered attention during the pandemic for his captivating fingerpicking guitar style, which rapidly gained viral traction. His trajectory continued with the release of his debut original single, ‘Chandelier,’ in 2020. This track has since achieved Gold certification in the US and amassed over 250 million streams on Spotify, establishing Paquin as a distinctive artist celebrated for his energetic instrumental work and deeply felt lyrics. His sound uniquely blends elements of folk, samba, and classical music into a compelling pop framework, drawing comparisons to artists like Elliott Smith, DD Dumbo, Vampire Weekend, and Elvis Costello.

Having become a sought-after live performer in the US, Paquin has previously toured with Melody’s Echo Chamber and Summer Salt, alongside headlining shows in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. His current foray into the European live circuit includes performances in the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, culminating in a trio of UK headline shows at Cardiff’s Clwb Ifor Bach, Manchester’s Soup, and London’s Shacklewell Arms. He is also set to appear at the Dot To Dot Festival in both Bristol and Nottingham, introducing his singular musical vision to a new audience.
