“Songs for Better Worlds”

WILBR is a manifestation of "acoustic artivism," sharing songs for better worlds: our individual ones, and the one we share. With a voice, guitar, and looper pedal, Will captures attention through his use of storytelling and artful musicianship, contributing to a dynamic performance grounded in authentic emotional expression.

"He’s great for any crowd and really knows how to make the atmosphere feel special. Dude absolutely rocks." -Max Ketcherside, Private Client

Will has found deep healing through music--as a listener and a creator. His musical journey has been been a supportive force in overcoming behavioral challenges such as substance abuse and self-flagellation. 

After a couple run-ins with the law, he attended a wilderness therapy program, which introduced him to the invaluable concept of mindfulness. Having quit guitar lessons as a child, Will picked the guitar back up soon after leaving the desert. 

"WILBR creates moments that feel personal yet familiar, capturing emotion in its most unguarded form." -Sylvantria Hawkins, The Tiny Mic

In 2024, after facing a years-old pattern of self-abandonment, Will dedicated himself to healing and self-discovery. Out of that introspection came WILBR's debut single, "So You Know", which marked a shift in Will's artistic confidence and helped define a guiding mission:

To shine light in, on, and around darkness.

Will intends to continue serving as a conduit for healing and empowering perspectives, so that his audience can step into their power and similarly experience radical self-acceptance.

"Catchy music with uplifting vibes and deep meanings. Having WILBR as a performer at Swamp Summit contributed wonderfully to the event's aesthetic!" -Aimee Bruce, 757 Create

Currently, Will is midway through a busk and open mic tour, spanning 18 states in the Eastern US, during which he has continued to release music. On April 20, 2026, WILBR's EP "The Tiny Mic (Live)" debuted. One track, "Face Your Dread", was featured on Veer Magazine's Top 10 This Week playlist. WILBR's latest release, “Little Yellow Hearts,” is a protest song and personal reflection on empathy, which invites listeners to tap their foot as well as look inward.
