Who Is Willcozi?
Charismatic, stylish, and resilientāWillcozi, aka Will GarcĆ©s, is more than just a content creator. Heās a storyteller through fashion, a former footballer turned creative visionary, and one of the most exciting cultural voices rising from Mallorca. With a distinct sense of style and a magnetic personality, Willcozi has quickly become a favorite among fashion brands and online audiences alike.
A Journey Rooted in Grit and Growth
Born in Cali, Colombia, Will GarcĆ©s arrived in Mallorca on March 10, 2020, with a dream: to sign as a footballer for SantanyĆ. When plans fell through, he stayed on the island, working as a gardener, carpenter, delivery driver, and even construction laborer. But his ambitions were always biggerāand grounded in creativity.
Raised by a mother who encouraged him to model from an early age, Willcozi soon shifted from football pitches to fashion studios. That background, paired with relentless discipline, forged the creator we now know on TikTok and Instagram.
From Obstacle to Opportunity
In his inspiring interview with Mentes Emprendedoras (Spotify episode here), Willcozi opened up about the backlash, criticism, and challenges he faced upon arriving in Spain. His story is one of overcoming hate, building resilience, and redefining masculinity through fashion and creative freedom.
In that conversation, he reflects on early collaborations, including a notable one with Puma, and speaks candidly about his mission to inspire others to chase their dreams, no matter what people say.
