William
As a music college graduate, William is a talented multi-instrumentalist specialising in acoustic jazz guitar.
Performing music began at an early age for William, playing the electric organ regularly at shows and concerts. At age thirteen, he transferred that love of music and playing live to the electric guitar and soon began to perform with a local rock band. Since then, William has been taught guitar by some of the world’s most renowned guitar players (Pete Friesen; toured with Alice Cooper) and plays various other instruments including the ukulele, keyboard and the mandolin. Growing up listening to lots of rock (Dire Straits) and folk music (Show Of Hands), jazz seemed like the obvious next step. As well as performing with The Brandywine Trio, William is currently teaching guitar and working as a composer.
