Even while on a world tour with rigorous demands, Jackson Wang is always ready with more than a few tricks up his sleeve. The artist speaks to L'OFFICIEL SINGAPORE about his recent Coachella stages, his upcoming F1 Singapore Grand Prix 2023 appearance, and what he's going to completely captivate us with next

Magic Moments

It's all or nothing for Jackson Wang. Case in point: This year, it's truly been full steam ahead for the artist. Earlier in January, the multi-hyphenate was declared a house ambassador for Louis Vuitton. The singer's "MAGIC MAN" World Tour brought Wang to London and Paris, and he has since held audiences in North America spellbound. Never content with just acing one thing at a time, Wang has delivered other-worldly moments even while on tour the entertainer returned to Coachella last month with solo stages, and released Slow, a scorching single with R&B icon Ciara.

This year, you returned to Coachella with solo stages. Congratulations! How did you enjoy the stages and what was different this time around?

I'm very honoured to have been invited by Coachella to do a full set on my own and it's a full show of 50 to 55 minutes. Compared to last year, where we had a 10-minute set, we had a complete set this year. There was pressure but I wasn't really nervous. I was more excited about my show rather than thinking "it's Coachella". And of course, it's big but for me, whether there are 20 people, 200 people, or 2,000 people, I'm always excited to perform. And I'm always excited to entertain and put on a show the best I can for all of the audience.
