Bio
Born in Dothan, Alabama, and raised in Campbellton, Florida, The Legendary WillyMac introduces to the music industry one of the most unique voices since Robert Johnson, Al Green, Ceelo and many more influential singers. By the age of ten, WillyMac became a songwriter/artist and began performing talent shows, and other public events. As a teenager, he won the hearts of many with his live onstage performances which added a twist of comedy, r&b, hip hop, and blues.

Both artist realized they brought creativity to their music while working together so they decided to refer to their sound as "Soul/Jive.
