Will can also be heard on guitarist/virtuoso Bert Elliot's "Asylum in Playland", where he plays alongside Yankee's legend Bernie Williams, bassist pro Stu Hamm and drummer extraordinaire Atma Anur. He also performs in several bands, including the eclectic art rock group Diazepam as keyboardist/vocalist, as well as his classic rock cover band Critical Mass where he performs the same duties.
In addition to being the music director, keyboardist and backup vocalist for Rockland County-based Dark Side of the Hudson Pink Floyd tribute band, Will is an in-demand freelance composer/arranger. He brings the same level of dedication and enthusiasm to his teaching style, emphasizing the student, not the method. Not long after his first word was uttered, Will was singing and grooving along to the music of The Beatles, Steely Dan, Frankie Valle and whatever else was in his parents' record collection.Ī graduate of Purchase College's Conservatory of Music with a Master's Degree in Studio Composition, Will has always had an engaged and studious approach to music of all styles ranging from blues, boogie, classical, jazz, pop and metal.
