BK WILLY (Los Angeles)

BK Willy is the founder and front man of Take Back the Night Productions. His slamming breakbeats, liquid drum and bass, and funky glitch hop sets will leave any dancer sweaty and satisfied. 

BK Willy (Baker Wiles) hails from the colder regions of the country, Minnesota. His musical influences range everywhere from Frank Sinatra to Glen Miller to Dr. Dre to the Spencer Davis Group. In college Baker gained exposure to independent bands and hip hop artists, as well as the underground electronic music scene that would soon become his home. In 2006, BK made friends with a DJ, Inande, who exposed him to large scale parties in Minneapolis where he was able to see artists such as: Oliver Lieb, Dieselboy, Dara, Evol Intent, and DJ Rap.

In 2009, BK Willy moved to Los Angeles. His exposure to the underground music scene continued to grow deeper when he formed connections with The Do Lab and began working for them as a volunteer for "Lightning in a Bottle," an electronic music festival held annually. He also began promoting with the Do Lab for such artists as: The Glitch Mob, RJD2, Love & Light, Paper Diamond, Russ Liquid, Vibesquad, and more. 

BK Willy launched Take Back the Night on Oct. 22, 2011 and his life hasn't been the same since. TBTN has evolved into a full scale production company, event consulting firm, pro audio sales/rental service, and a booking agency, all with BK at the reins. BK Willy is inspired by fellow promoters, The Good Vibe, and is a member of The Dirty Beetles (an artist collective in Los Angeles). ​
