Will was born in Buffalo, NY in the 80s. The funniest town in the funniest times. While the Bills were losing Superbowls, Will was playing the dozens with his 7 siblings and 8 cousins. At the young age of 6, his grandmother kicked him out of her house while on a visit when she heard one of his jokes, and he thought he might have something special. At 8, Will entered his first talent show as a stand up comedian, and when his father pulled him off stage, he knew he had something.

Since then Will has lived in NYC, Atlanta, and now Houston using his creative skills to build businesses and engage consumers. For the past year plus, Will has been studying improv at the Coronation Theater and performing at open mics across Houston.

Jessica Jenkins is singing a song or two like you've never heard before. That's because they are all original. It's the music you know and lyrics that will bring tears to your eyes.
