Into that bargain, he soon enrolled himself at the University of Southern California for a degree in music. Currently, he’s already graduated and lives a literal musical life.
Don’s Son Is Also Into Music
Growing up in the loving arms of a musician helped foster Will’s interest in the field as well. When asked how he got his “start with music” during a college interview, he said,
“I got my start with music as a baby, listening from the carseat while my parents played a variety of artists from The Foo Fighters to Leo Kottke and even Tool. After the standard 1st-grade stint as a recorder player, I began playing guitar casually with friends while in elementary school, then performing with several bands in high school as a bassist, guitarist and drummer, playing rock and alternative music.”
As they say, “Like-father, like-son”, the 25-year-old has worked with a number of artists too, including his dad. He’s worked with young artists like Camellia Boutros, Kumi Maxson, and Jacob Gilmore in their gangster-style jazz. Along with them, he has also collaborated with director, Erik Pearson on the theatrical production of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui.
