ABOUT

Hi, my name is Will. I'm an independent multi instrumentalist, vocalist and producer with 7 years of ongoing experience in various avenues of music production/performance.
My main focus for the past 2ish years has been my passion project, Mr Slime. I released a debut album in late 2023 with a guitarist and drummer, myself filling the role of bassist/vocalist, which disbanded shortly after release, followed by 2 albums of duo work and most recently an entirely solo album.
After this recent solo phase, I'm looking to branch out with new collaborations, particularly guitarists or percussionists though I'm thoroughly versatile and can adapt to most dynamics if the right person comes along.
I've frequented local open mics for over 6 months now and along with my small online following, the Slime brand is building decent momentum. I've noticed open mic crowds are considerably more interested in group performances over solo.
I'd like to work on rehearsing a small set of covers and potentially a few originals and focus on building traction at local open mics, see how it goes from there.
If our chemistry allows for writing, I'd also love to do that.
I'm also open to sessioning if you like my chops, though I'd recommend my bass playing more than guitar.
