Los Angeles, 1993: Being blessed in his mother’s womb by music legend Little Richard was how Will Sweeny’s career and life began when the icon placed his hands on her pregnant stomach in a hotel lobby and shouted, ‘God bless this child, Lord!’

English through and through, but with such a life blessing linking him to the US, it’s no wonder Will has gone on to perform his music around the world and has returned to Los Angeles to pursue his solo venture.

Will hails from Cheshire, England, where as soon as he was old enough to sit up, he would spend hours hitting upturned pans with wooden spoons. His love of music and drumming had begun. He got his first set of drums as a child and studied music in college. There, he formed his first band, “White Eskimo,” playing drums, and his music career took off in the UK.

Will soon became the group’s frontman and went on to perform his music in England’s hottest venues, including The 02 Arena in London, Brixton Academy, Wembley Arena and his packed and extended residencies at the infamous Cavern Club. He has opened for top groups, including The Jam, Jess Glynne, The Struts and has appeared regularly across National television and radio, including The BBC, ITV and Channel 4

Now back playing the drums for the likes of The Click Five, Roy Orbison Jr, Joe Walsh and Peter Wolf... Will’s career has come full circle. ‘Going back to the kit has been one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. It’s where it all started for me - It’s how I fell in love with music at age 9. I am absolutely loving it!’
