Niels & Wiels: Taking a Break to Grow

The artistic duo Niels Destadsbader and Miguel Wiels, known collectively as Niels & Wiels, have taken a step back from their collaborative ventures. While rumors of a falling out swirled, both artists have clarified that their decision stems from a desire for individual growth and exploration.

The recent absence of Wiels from Destadsbader’s latest single, “Style Icon,” fueled speculation. Adding to the mystery was a temporary Instagram purge by Wiels, which caused friction within their partnership. However,Wiels addressed these concerns in an interview with Weekly magazine “Hello everyone,” stating, “I can say fully there is no fight between the two of us.”

Finding Space for Individuality

Wiels explained that the decision to take a break was a mutually beneficial one. “we felt that we had to give each other more oxygen. It is indeed good for both of us to explore other horizons and not to force the collaboration,” he shared.

Destadsbader, who views Wiels as a mentor, has been encouraged to take more ownership of his career decisions. This separation aims to empower Destadsbader to discover his own artistic voice while Wiels pursues other creative avenues.

Despite the temporary pause in live performances, the duo remains committed to their musical partnership. Wiels affirmed, “We will still write new songs for Niels. We realize that we are a good tandem.”

Addressing the Instagram Incident

Wiels acknowledged that his Instagram purge, which involved unfollowing many individuals, created tension. “Like so many people, I sometimes do a big chaste on my account. Then I unplug a lot of people,” he admitted. This action, while personal, unintentionally caused concern among those invested in their partnership.

Wiels further clarified the situation, stating, “My wife was also there. But simultaneously occurring, everyone who matters has been added again. Case closed.”

Looking Forward: A Continued Legacy

The temporary separation of Niels & Wiels underscores the importance of individual growth and the evolving nature of creative partnerships. While they navigate this new phase, their shared artistic history and mutual respect will undoubtedly pave the way for future collaborations.
