Born to Cuban parents who fled the island, Whilly Bermudez was raised in Miami, where he was born in 1977. His father was an entrepreneur, and his mother worked as a clerk at a local car dealership. From an early age, he showed an interest in reading, art, and writing poems and songs—the first signs of a creative path that would continue to grow and become the foundation of his success. This foundation later served as the catalyst for Whilly’s evolution into a songwriter, artist, author, and expert marketer.
