Born in Washington, D.C. to a family of musicians and singers, William had an ear for music from a very young age. He recalls being captivated by songs like Frankenstein (Edgar Winter) which to this day is one of his favorite songs. William started playing bass around 1979. In the years following, he learned to play guitar and some keyboards. He always had the dream of producing his own CD since first picking up the bass. He has now released his debut CD Pillaras and Dreams in fulfillment of that dream. He encourages other to keep persuing after their dreams.
