Will.i.steal

William Steele (born January 21st 1990), known under the alias of will.i.steal, is a pop producer who makes music by stealing instrumentals from other songs and slapping his own autotuned vocals over them, which are mostly incoherent gibberish since 2013. Most of his songs begin with the line "will.i.steal? yes.i.will!" before a stolen tune begins playing. He sometimes collaborates with David Gutterface. He was also a member of the now-defunct pop and rap group The Black Eyed Thieves. He also has Asperger's syndrome, and can be socially awkward at times.
He is best known for his single 'Lat's Goe', which rips off the melody from 'Pain is Gain' by The Murderers. He subsequently released '#DATBOOTY' - this is a blatant copy of 'Gamia 2008' by Euphoria Equals DJ. He was sued £1,000,000 for stealing segments of 'Pain is Gain' and £3,000,000 for ripping off 'Gamia 2008', however he refused to pay all this money until March 2015. More recently he has made songs by stealing chiptune music; one example is his June 2015 single '8-bit Thief'. Many people were surprised he didn't use GXSCC, and Annabella Nylund is hoping will.i.steal won't sample her music, after hearing about his new obsession with chiptune. He additionally listens to the Midnight Techclub radio show just to find tracks to sample.
Harry Smith, Patrick McCrae and many others hate will.i.steal for his thieving antics. Even though some people such as Mae MacDonald are fans of him, he has many more haters than fans. This, however, doesn't stop him from setting up gigs at the CH4 Arena in Dundundun, where he performs in outfits stolen from the wardrobes of rap stars. He has also received hundreds of mostly anonymous death threats. In February 2015 he attempted to start a career as a DJ, however he had to abandon his first and only DJ set at Dundundun DJ Land when he couldn't find the play button after playing three tracks. Patrick couldn't stop laughing when he found out just after he had finished his DJ set, also at Dundundun DJ Land.
