Willow was singing before she was talking. When she was 4-years-old she was enrolled in the local community’s Redwood Coast Children's Choir, where she was trained in classical music. She continued with RCCC for 15 years, traveling to Europe and participating in numerous choral competitions. She also participated in local community theater productions, showcasing her talent as both a singer and an actress.
She comes from a musical family. Both sets of Grandmothers were pianists, and from a young age Willow remembers sitting side by side on the piano bench with them, singing along and watching their fingers dance magically across the keys. Her parents started her with piano lessons at an early age and she quickly relished in being able to accompany herself. Her Dad is also a musician, and at the age of 16 she got her first taste of the rock and roll scene when she joined his band "The Convictions" on stage to sing her rendition of Melissa Etheridge's "I'm the Only One".
Willow pursued her music through high school, singing in the AP choir and continuing to perform in theatrical productions. She was chosen to attend an elite summer intensive for singers at the California Institute of Performing Arts when she was 15. When she went to college, she joined her first rock band and continued in this pursuit in both Portland and NYC. Her band, The Vesties, were signed by management in NYC in 2006, in which they toured up and down both the east and west coasts as well as winning a van and performing on ABC's "The View". They recorded one full length and one EP, solidifying Willow's experience in a studio environment.
Now living in sunny Los Angeles, Willow is pursuing a career as a session musician. Her versatility in musical genres as well as her ability to read music is an asset to anyone choosing to work with her. Her compassionate disposition, easy going attitude, and professionalism make her ideal to collaborate with.
