A childhood filled with formal training in piano, trumpet, guitar and bass, interspersed with periods performing those instruments at classical piano competitions, school bands, orchestras and jazz groups culminated in a love of diversity in music for Will-Powerz. He fell in love with American Hip-Hop in the era where it most powerfully matched this diversity, when acts like The Roots, J Dilla, MF Doom, Common and Mos Def were enriching the scene. This was when he first began his craft as a producer, stringing together beats and songs using an Xbox, an old Roland sampler, an 8-track analogue portastudio and whatever additions of synthesizer, guitar and vocals he could muster. This was a formative period of his musical life, awash with the music of progressive and open-minded Hip-Hop artists, meeting other like-minded DIY musicians, talking philosophy and psychology and laying the foundations of the Will-Powerz persona.
