WRTHL$$ performs “Porcelain Heart” on a pier as Juice Unlocked asks: OC’s next big thing?

A roughly 68-second performance video for “Porcelain Heart.” It opens with a drone shot over an ocean pier with the artist’s name and song title on screen, then stays mostly on close-ups of WRTHL$$ singing into a microphone with the pier behind him. The audio is the song itself.

OC artist WRTHL$$ (@x.wrthlss.x on Instagram) was back in the Juice Unlocked spotlight on March 27, 2026, with a performance clip of “Porcelain Heart,” a slow, moody track he sings on an ocean pier.

The post’s cover graphic said WRTHL$$ “won’t be underground for long” dropping songs like this, and the caption asked followers whether he is the next big thing from OC.

The video

The roughly 68-second clip opens on a drone shot over the pier and the water, with “WRTHL$$” and the song title spelled out across the screen. It then settles into close-ups of the artist singing into a microphone in soft, hazy light, with the pier railing and passersby behind him.

WRTHL$$, with bright red hair, face tattoos and green-tinted sunglasses, wears a black shirt covered in silver crescent-moon designs. The song circles questions of pain, scars and where to start over. The post credits the video to @thelsdp.

Building a run

It was his third Juice Unlocked feature in about two weeks. On March 13, the outlet spotlighted the Mission Viejo artist’s emo track “TOXIC WASTE,” and on March 20 it posted about a book he says played a role in his come-up.

The pier post was a collaboration with the artist’s own account. It did not include a release date or streaming links.

So, OC: is WRTHL$$ the next big thing?
