About Me

"This project is a fresh start. There is no way around music" ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------- John's unique style developed from an influence of Blues, R&B/Soul, Jazz, Rock, and Funk. As much as John's return to music seemed to be fate, so was the powerful pairing of musical chemistry between John and Zach once again after a three year hiatus. John and Zach were both born and raised just outside of Chicago where they grew up together. John Wills and Zach Mikus have completed their first Ep, "THE SEPTEMBERS EP" which was released September 25th, 2007.
