Listen to Go Under here:

"There is nothing better than hearing a new artist that you know has that x factor and is doing something different from the rest. Listening to the new single from Josh Wantie makes me want to hear more and I can't wait to see his music explode!" – Catherine Grenfell, 5FM.

Wantie has been working hard leading up to the release of his debut single and it is a moment he’s been dreaming of.

"I am really excited that it's finally going to be out and people can get to hear all the hard work we've put in. My hope is that people can take away who I am as an artist and what my music is about from this single. Hopefully the music speaks to them on a level that makes them want to be part of my journey."

"It's always rewarding when you get to work with a great guy that has genuine talent. No doubt in my mind that he's going to explode," comments producer Brad Klynsmith.

Go Under was released exclusively on iTunes and Apple Music on 20 November.
