"I’m told from the time I was a toddler, I showed an unusual interest in music, mostly by the interesting tunes I would make up on the family piano – I was about five years old."
"Because of this early passion towards music, my parents sent me to a music teacher who quickly confirmed I had a rare talent and exceptional ability. I started my music lessons at age 7, and with an old family keyboard began busking in the streets of Nelson that helped me save for my first keyboard and buskers amp."
"I quickly became noticeable and was soon asked to play at local school fairs, cafes and from time to time at private functions."
"When I was 7 one of my compositions was entered in the Pacific Song Writing Competition of the instrumental section; Shark Catching the Rainbow Fish saw me wining 3rd place, and $50 richer!"
"Also at 7 years old, I undertook the recording of my first CD; Awakening, a mixture of my own compositions and covers of other artists."
"I won two 1st place scholarships at the age of eight, went on to record my second CD ‘William Alive’ and held a concert at the Nelson School of Music to celebrate its release."
"I have three awesome Nelson School of Music Teachers; Joel Bolton (classical piano), Betty Windleborn (singing), and Joe Refichi (Jazz). Each week I look forward to these lessons. I also attend TeenZing and choir practice."
"There have been numerous newspaper articles, radio interviews and two television appearances about me.
My favorite musicians include Mozart, Elton John, Billy Joel, along with the music of the Beatles."
"I play keyboard, harmonica, sing and continue learning the guitar. I would like to give drums a go too!"
