Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Wil Key, has been producing his unique and
soulful brand of contemporary R&B music for many years. This talented artist and producer
from Kentucky has written for, recorded and produced some of the finest musical acts in the
nation. He has worked with Def Jam recording artists Playa. He has also worked extensively
with former Jive recording artists LA Ganz, with whom he attended the High School of The
Performing Arts as a Theater and Music major. The group recorded fifteen tracks for the label,
four of which went on to be included on Major-Motion-Picture soundtracks. In addition to
co-sequencing the LA Ganz song "Count On Me," which is featured on the soundtrack for the
New Line Cinema release Dangerous Ground (Ice Cube), Wil also performs the piano solo.

Wil received his Bachelor's of Music degree while studying at Howard University in
Washington, D.C and the University of Louisville. He moved to Denver in 2000 and studied
graduate audio recording for 2 years at the University of Colorado at Denver (UCD) with Roy
Pritts. While there, he received honorable mention from legendary producer and engineer,
Eddie Kramer (Jimi Hendrix, Led Zepplin), for his production and performance of the original
song "Dandelion" which is featured on the school's CD release for that year, as well as Wil's
solo debut CD entitled "Gypsy."  Wil went on to receive a Masters of Music in Jazz
Performance and Pedagogy in 2005 from the University of Colorado at Boulder. He has been a
guest lecturer at several college campuses including the University of Louisville, and the
University of Northern Colorado where he has presented courses on keyboard technology and
software synthesis.

Wil has assembled a rich assortment of talented musicians and artists to appear on the
15-song release. A refreshing mixture of Jazz, R&B/Neo-Soul, Rock and Poetry, the CD will
include special guests Bijoux Barbosa (bass), Betsy Ruckard (vocals), Mark Harris (sax), Light
(spoken word), Anthony Waker (guitar), Maritri Garrett (vocals, cello), James Brandon Lewis
(sax) and many others. For this CD, Wil also worked with 5-time grammy nominated engineer
Ryan West (Jay-Z, Beyonce, T.I. , Jon Secada, Rashann Patterson) from New York City. West
mixed several songs for the project at his private studio in Manhattan and will be recording an
instructional video with Digidesign this month featuring a Wil Key song entitled "I'll Be
Around."

Although he has many years of writing and performing experience under his belt, he says "I
feel as though this is just the beginning, I have many stories to make!"
