William "Will" Patrick Spencer Gold (born September 14, 1996), better known online as Wilbur Soot, is a musician, streamer and Youtuber from Brighton, UK. Initially starting off with the WebVideo/SootHouse [=YouTube=] channel, he has since branched out into other channels.

Wilbur started his music career writing very melancholy songs primarily for the acoustic guitar, mostly emulating the British band Crywank in tone and style. During this time, he released an EP called "Maybe I was Boring", and an album called "Your City Gave Me Asthma".

Recently though, Wilbur has ventured into writing more comedic songs, mostly parodying various internet archetypes. His most famous work is what's unofficially named "The E-Girl Trilogy", three songs all sung from the perspective of a man who becomes obsessed with a female streamer and decides to stalk her, feeling entitled to be with her.

In early 2021, Wilbur founded the band Music/{{Lovejoy}}, with himself as lead singer. On May 10th of that same year, they released their first EP, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMhFTex19DU "Are You Alright?"]].

Outside of his music career, Wilbur is a prominent figure in the Minecraft community, most notably playing a character of the same name on both the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'' (character page [[Characters/DreamSMPWilburSoot here]]) and the ''WebVideo/{{QSMP}}''.

* DoubleEntendre: In the music video for "Your New Boyfriend", while the line "I think about him a lot as well" is sung, [[ADateWithRosiePalms Wilbur slowly pulls a piece of tissue paper out of a box]], then turns to stare directly in the camera.

* LineOfSightName: The "Soot" part of Wilbur's name originated from him naming his first online account after the first word he saw on his desktop -- Settings. This morphed into Sootings after one of his online friends nicknamed him that, which later got shortened to Soot.

* StylisticSuck: In all of the music videos of the E-Girl Trilogy, Wilbur is very obviously ''not'' playing his instruments correctly. This ranges from just kind of slapping his guitar in "Im in Love with an E-Girl", to playing a glockenspiel like it's a guitar in "Internet Ruined Me", to doing... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa0Swz3X1cQ&t=182s whatever this is]] in "Your New Boyfriend."
