Will B, Kobina Akin & S.O. Craft an Afro House Anthem in the Making with ‘Shy’

Rising Afro house artist Will B kicks off 2025 with an enthralling new single, ‘Shy,’ a collaboration with Kobina Akin featuring the vocal talents of S.O. This club focused track will light up dancefloors worldwide upon its release on February 21st.
‘Shy’ marks Will B’s first original composition following two highly acclaimed edits that solidified his presence in the Afro house scene. For this release, he joins forces with Kobina Akin, the moniker of Mick Wilson, known for both his DJ and production work as one half of Parks and Wilson, alongside being the editor of DJ Mag Ibiza and DJ Mag Tech. Wilson under his Kobina Akin guise fuses his Ghanaian heritage with forward-thinking electronic sounds with this collaboration with Will B and S.O. being the first of many more to come. 

The single ‘Shy’ blends the catchy vocals of S.O. with a pulsating Afro house beat, bringing an authenticity steeped within the Afro House genre.  

Adding further fire to the release, South African rising star Rudy Julius delivers a powerful remix. Rudy, who is a graduate of the world-famous Bridges for Music academy in South Africa has been making waves both as a producer and DJ with regular support slots for Black Coffee and showcasing his talents at ADE. Rudy brings his signature blend of European dance music and African influences to ‘Shy.’
