Influences: WILL: "I have a Folk-Rock background, influenced by hiphop.
It´s about darkness and light. I am not a moralist - I´m just expressing all kinds of emotions, created by circumstances.
My subjects are hypocracy, bad company, insanity, the need for revenge and the problem with forgiveness - and on the other hand: hope, courage, and strengh that comes with crisis.
To comfort, to cheer up and to amuse the exhausted and the angry ones with music - that´s a nice goal, I think."
