William graduated in 2008 with BA (Hons) Music from the University of Southampton.  He started singing in 1994 at the age of 7 when he joined the St Albans Cathedral Choir directed by Barry Rose and later Andrew Lucas. In William’s last choral year he was promoted to head chorister and left the choir in 2000. Whilst in the choir he was fortunate to tour America and Sweden, take part in live and recorded radio and television broadcasts and sing at Horseguards Parade for the Queen Mother’s 100th birthday.

Over the past five years William has been invited to sing various solos including Faure’s Requiem, Orff’s Carmina Burana, Handel’s Messiah, Britten’s Rejoice in the Lamb, Haydn’s Missa Sancti Nicholai, Bach’s Magnificat, Rossini’s Messe Solenelle and Puccini’s Messa di Gloria.  

William gained a choral scholarship at university and is a founding member of The Hartley Ensemble whose repertoire ranged from renaissance to close harmony music. William has featured on several recordings, with David Owen Norris and Peter Savidge on the Avie Label and sang alongside James Gilchrist and Matthew Brook in the Turner Sims Concert Hall; he has recently completed two CDs, one with Mosaic Chamber Choir and one on the Naxos label with the St Albans Cathedral Choir.  

William studies voice with Keith Davis; and continues to increase his solo engagements.  William sings with several professional groups and Cathedral choirs throughout the country which has taken him to France, and so far this year to Norway and the East coast of the USA.
