Performing up to six shows a week, Will is striving for the best life for his young family. His drive and passion for his craft shine through every song and every show. As a young man Will had to face the hard cold reality of losing his father to brain cancer in August 2007. Will’s father was principal of the local school in his hometown of Goondiwindi and a well-respected member of the community.

On father’s day 2016, and in memory of his father, Will launched his debut EP, a five-track journey into the life of a young man inspired by the tragedies and triumphs he has endured in his short life.
