Willie P was born William A. Pearsall on february 20 1988. All his life he loved music, all kinds. His mom grew up on southern rock but by the time willie was around it was country music. "i like to think ima old soul, i love all music, from 50s doo wop to todays music. i love soul music like Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Al Greene, The Fourtops, Smokey Robinson, every thing else in between that. If music has meaning to it, ima listen. Thats what i write, meaningful shit. Yea some of the stuff i write about i aint done, but thats how i felt at the time. I express my emotions on paper, wether its hate, love, or just fuckin around. I write how i feel." Willie dident have a real hard life, but it wasent an easy one. His dad was there for most of it, but he really dident give a fuck. "My dad left when i was 13, and i aint seen or spoke to him since. Its always been me, my mom, and my sister, and thats all i need. After my dad left is when shit got hard, we couldent pay the bills so they took our house, i dont know how many times we moved in the past 5 years." Willie first got into rap when his sister bought a 2pac album. "That was the most poetic shit i ever heard." From that point on Willie wanted to rap, thats all he listened to. "My grandma couldent stand it when i would play Notorious B.I.G., Bone Thugs-N-harmony, The Lox, she hated it all." But willie loved it, and here he is today.
