I'm an artist and a GDI marketing affiliate. I'm going to create so much soul content for the internet that people will be excited and amazed to a point beyond words. I'm a writer. I love to write. True love is my lifeline.
Why this name?
My friend, Nizam, came up with the name, Dj Will Power, from when we used to spin the Underworld Radio Show. It was all Hip Hop on the am band, and later we put it on XM satellite in its beginning stages.
Do you play live?
I performed "One Woman Man" at an open-mic venue and when I got off stage a woman asked me for my autograph. I'm not much into the superstar special f/x of being an artist, but it felt good to be appreciated. I look back at that and feel believed in. It's priceless
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It kills the industry, and gives life to music freedom and artistic independence.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I need financial help, and I need exposure, but I don't see a major label as a path in my journey. I believe I can do it flying solo.
