SEEKING

ABOUT

I've been playing music since about 17 years old, started on drums, then picked up singing and guitar.
I studied music for 3 years and I’ve been working as a music teacher since 2022.
I love working collaboratively, I find that writing becomes more fun with others involved and when it comes to decisions and money in collaborative projects I always opt to split things evenly between us if possible: (songwriting credits, and gig/merch profits),
But obviously in terms of session work and helping out on other projects I don’t expect even splits.
Hit me up on (willyswishwellingtons) or Facebook (William O’Connor) if you’re interested in a jam/catchup.
I’d love to be lead vocalist for a band again,
I’m lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist in my current band but have wanted to just focus on vocals for a different project/s.
My vocal style is mostly rooted in 90’s style rock/grunge but
Also I love to sing all styles that I can and relish in trying new styles and genres as much as possible!
I’ve got a few covers/originals with me singing on my if you’re interested in hearing how I sound :)
