From the winding streets of Berlin to the rooftops of Mexico City, Thomas better known by his creative moniker WLC, short for “We’ll See” has followed a path defined by rhythm, community, and an unshakable belief in the power of music to connect us all.
Thomas’s story begins in a Berlin household that overflowed with art and curiosity. His parents, both artists in different mediums, never imposed boundaries on creative exploration. As a child, he’d tap out rhythms on kitchen tables, marvel at the textures of old vinyl covers, and soak in stories told late into the night. These simple yet profound moments planted the earliest seeds of a life shaped by sound and expression.
Later, during his studies in cultural expression, Thomas discovered the alchemy of mixing music and emotion. Berlin’s underground scene beckoned gritty warehouses, intimate clubs, and fleeting communities brought together by a shared pulse. After hours spent apprenticing in recording studios and countless nights DJing in dim corners of the city, Thomas realized this wasn’t just a scene he belonged to. It was a language he wanted to speak.
The defining spark came one late night at an impromptu gathering in Kreuzberg. As Thomas layered house grooves with ethereal ambient textures, he paused to look up. Before him, a room of strangers swayed in collective joy, barriers dissolved by sound. In that moment, he felt the call: to devote himself not just to playing music, but to creating experiences that unite and heal.
But following this path came with its challenges. Launching his label, We Zien Wel, was an act of courage that required walking away from financial stability. Thomas faced sleepless nights wrestling with budgets, self-doubt, and an often unforgiving industry. One of the toughest moments came when a much-anticipated tour fell apart due to funding cuts. Alone and disillusioned, Thomas questioned whether his vision could survive.
It was during this dark period that an unexpected lifeline appeared. A mentor from Berlin’s music community, recognizing his potential, offered critical support—a small grant and a web of connections that rekindled his hope. With renewed determination, Thomas reconnected with fellow creatives and found that he was never truly alone. Friends offered their time, collaborators lent their talents, and audiences began responding to the authenticity of his work.
This spirit of community became the foundation for everything that followed. Thomas poured his heart into mastering production, expanding his DJ sets into immersive live experiences, and building Roundabout Agency a collective that brings together artists, brands, and venues to create meaningful cultural moments. His work as a harmonizer extended beyond sound; it became a philosophy rooted in bringing people together across boundaries.
Today, WLC’s achievements echo through countless dance floors and collaborative projects. His label’s debut compilation caught the ear of tastemakers in the underground scene, while his performances from Berlin basements to Mexico City rooftops continue to spark moments of collective euphoria. His agency, Roundabout, fosters cross-cultural partnerships, and his growing presence on platforms like 40 Fingers Cartel Radio spreads his sound to an ever-wider audience.
Yet for Thomas, success is not defined by metrics. It is measured by the lives touched along the way. He treasures the dancers who lose themselves in his sets, the emerging artists whose voices he helps amplify, and the deep relationships forged through shared creative energy. In a world that can feel fragmented, his mission is clear: to harmonize.
Looking ahead, Thomas envisions an even broader impact. He dreams of expanding We Zien Wel into a mentorship platform for under-represented artists, curating a global event series that transcends borders, and producing a deeply personal vinyl project that captures his evolving sound. Every step forward is guided by the same spirit that began in that Berlin kitchen long ago a belief that music, at its best, builds community, meaning, and hope.
