The Wellermen have a global fan base consisting of a combined 10M+ following, having now racked up 110 million + streams across all platforms. The group have gone onto release eight singles, over 45M views, grown their TikToks to a combined 7M+, featured in Forbes Magazine, featured at #4 in Germany’s Spotify Viral Chart.
