William is a Texas native and has been performing professionally since the age of 19. In 2004, William auditioned for "American Idol" in its fourth season and went on to compete in Hollywood. Since moving to NYC from Dallas in 2007, William has performed at some of NYC's top music venues including Carnegie Hall in Standard Time with Michael Feinstein, Town Hall for The Best of Jim Caruso's Cast Party, and Rose Hall at Lincoln Center. He also recorded a live album entitled Live From New York City, which is available on iTunes.
