Miami is a city shaped by sound. From club culture to cultural crossover, music here reflects movement, precision, and influence. For songwriter and composer Whilly Bermudez, that environment mirrors how he approaches his work – with focus, consistency, and attention to craft.

Based in South Florida, Bermudez has been steadily building a growing catalog of original songs across EDM, Latin, country, and dance music. Rather than chasing trends, his work centers on structure, melody, and repeatable songwriting fundamentals.

“I’ve always believed the writing has to hold up on its own,” Bermudez says. “If the song works at its core, everything else becomes easier.”

Starting With the Song

Every track Bermudez writes begins from scratch. Lyrics are entirely original, melodies are developed deliberately, and structure is established before production enters the process.

If a song doesn’t stand on its own in a stripped-down form, it doesn’t move forward.

“That filter saves time and keeps the work consistent,” he explains.

This approach allows his music to move fluidly across genres without losing clarity or direction.

Growing Listener Response

As Bermudez continues releasing music, listener response has grown steadily. His songs are seeing repeat listens, organic engagement, and continued traction across streaming platforms – signals that the work is resonating beyond a single release cycle.

Rather than focusing on short-term metrics, Bermudez pays attention to retention.

“If people come back to the music, that matters,” he says.

A Notable Local Credit

Most recently, Whilly created a jingle for the University of Miami Sports Programs called “The U” — a project that reflects growing trust in his songwriting ability and his connection to South Florida’s creative ecosystem.

The assignment required translating energy, identity, and tradition into a concise musical form – a skillset closely aligned with songwriting discipline.

Human Performance Matters

Vocals remain central to Bermudez’s work. He collaborates primarily with freelance singers, allowing different voices to bring nuance and interpretation to his compositions.

AI technology is only used in initial arrangement testing and not for commissioned works.

“A song changes when someone performs it,” he notes. “That’s where it becomes complete.”

Building a Catalog

With more than fifty released tracks and additional material in development, Bermudez views songwriting as a cumulative practice. Each release contributes to a broader body of work shaped by consistency and refinement.

“I’m focused on the long arc,” he says. “The catalog tells the story.”
