Experience & Commitment: Will's commitment to the music industry has produced two recordings of his own and several others of varied artists. He continues to learn or produce the material necessary for each individual performance. It is not at all unusual to hear him perform a song from the 50's or 60's, follow that with a Garth Brooks or Kenny Chesney song, then go into "DJ Mode" with "OutKast"/"Usher" or the latest dance music. Will has always presented hit songs that are or were popular. Will sings 1000 songs and DJ's 1000's of others. In a career that spans 40 years, Will's goal is still to make each performance special and to deliver the music that makes each individual's "Dream Day" a reality. Will has given well over 100,000 performances from New York to Nashville to Florida!
