William Prince
William Prince is a singer/songwriter from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Dubbed ‘the real deal and far beyond his years’ by Billy the Kid, the self-appointed ‘folkstar’ has plans to reinvent the musical wheel.
The frontman of Canadian rock quartet 'A New Honour' pleads guilty to loving music far beyond the average listener:
"I grew up on Johnny Cash. I studied Kris Kristofferson. I always knew I wanted to be just like them; performing and changing lives with my music. However, not a day goes by where I don't listen to Notorious BIG!"
While performing with A New Honour, a collection of songs continued to grow in his back pocket. When the band went on hiatus in 2009, Prince returned to his roots as a solo artist and began working on his solo effort full-time.
Armed with quick wit and library of songs that tell the tales of love, life and loss, Prince does everything possible to remain a cut above the rest. Blending Country, Folk, Rock, Pop and even Hip-Hop, there is no shortage of excitement in every track he produces out of his home studio.
"I am in complete control of my music. I don't believe in limiting yourself to one style. Having my own recording studio has really allowed me to try new things I couldn't do with my other musical ventures. It's exciting to go to work!"
Boasting an impressive Youtube channel that contains nearly 30 of his country and folk songs, it is his love and integration of various styles in his music that makes his audience want to keep listening. Consistency in the power of his songs proves William Prince is no fluke and that he can hold his own amongst today's top writers.
A comedian at heart, watching William Prince perform live is where you begin to see how much he lives for music:
"I play like it's the audience's first show and my last. I love to have fun with the crowd and tell embarrassing stories about my family and I. They're the reason i work so hard at this."
With only his stories to tell, Prince embodies the charisma of a young Johnny Cash and boasts a low rumble in his voice certain to bring you to the edge of your seat.
