Born and raised in San Francisco, music was always around Will growing up. He began playing in 4th grade and has been ever since. Will graduated from Ruth Asawa School of the Arts in 2019, and pursued a Bachelors in Jazz Performance from the CJC shortly afterwards. Will has recently been playing at MOMASF, the San Jose Jazz festival, and numerous other venues in and around the Bay Area.
