Will began singing seriously when he was just 6 years old and soon began doing so in competitions as part of a choir, then as a soloist. Three years ago, when he was 14, he heard a song called Immune, by KT Tunstall (it was a bonus track on her first album) and the guitar on it inspired him to take up lessons. Pretty soon, riffs started coming into his head and he began writing songs. His tastes ...in music vary from Dylan to Oasis, Ed Sheeran to Tyler Hilton but his major influences are songwriters like Michelle Branch and John Shanks. Now 17, Will has an impressive catalogue of original songs and has been playing gigs around Kent and in London for some 18 months. Acoustic Rock with a hint of soul best describes his music but he has an exceptional vocal range and can sing rock, blues, jazz or soul styles as well.

I was a finalist in the 2011 UKUnsigned Singer/Songwriter contest. I am on the regular roster for the Paul Dunton & Guests nights at The Grey Lady Music Music Lounge in Tunbridge Wells (solely for acts that play original music) and appear regularly at The Forum, Tunbridge Wells and other venues around Kent and London. Recently opened for The Duel (punk rock band) and am appearing at The Kilburn Festival this year. I mainly sing my own original songs but also perform some amazing covers, backing myself on either guitar or keyboards. I've been told that my sound is a little like the late Jeff Buckley but I can also sing soul, rock, blues or jazz.
