Willie Wills
INFLUENCES: Frankie Knuckles, David Morales, Lil Louis, Andre Hatchett, Fingers Inc., Kenny "Jamin" Jason, Mickey "Mixin" Oliver.
MUSICAL STYLE: Soulful smooth-sounding Deep House. I enjoy playing positive vocals that make you feel good and want to dance. I also play classic hits and instrumentals that sing to your soul.
WHERE HAVE YOU SPUN AT? Kaboom, Betty's Blue Star, Tini Martini, Zentra, Dantes, Slick's, Dating Game, 67th Street Loft.
CURRENT RESIDENCIES/GIGS: I just concluded a one year residency at Slick's Lounge, and now I've taken on my own project as co-founder, promoter, DJ and co-host of 67th Street Loft (the once a month party and Chicago's newest home for house music).
TOP 5 SONGS: "Be Yourself" (Blaze feat. Joi Cardwell), "Fade" (Solu Music feat. Kimblee) "4Real" (Amel Larrieux), "Still" (Tamia), "Feelin Love" (Soulsearcher)..
DREAM JOB: I would like to open a venue in Chicago that would play House music new and old, so that current and upcoming talents, DJs, promoters, vocalists, etc. could have a nightclub to perform at on a regular basis that would also be sympathetic to their cause.
