Will Ovid
Tony Coke: Straight out of LA, Will Ovid joins us today on Bands Rising. Will is a teen musician, singer songwriter, and guitar player.
Good talking to you Will.
You’ve got that So-Cal vibe happening… Are you into the surf and skate scene? Or what occupies your time other than music?
Will Ovid:
Thank-you!….. Actually I was briefly into the skateboarding scene for one summer, but the call of my music was too strong, so my interest in skating turned out to be very brief. I still have the boards though. Well I have to say doing homework occupies a lot of my time, but my second passion is comedy.
Tony Coke: Your single “Coming Home” is performed with a band behind it, but could totally be done solo singer songwriter style.
Do you typically have a band when you play live? Which do you prefer?
Will Ovid: Actually I love to perform as a solo singer, songwriter. I’m pretty passionate about playing some amazing ripping guitar onstage as well!
Tony Coke: I assume you write your own music, what is the writing process like for you? Music first, then lyrics? Or do the lyrics help write the melody and music?
Will Ovid:
Well I really consider myself a guitar player first, because I hear the music in my head and then get those melodies down with my guitar. Those melodies inspire my lyrics.
Tony Coke: Do you feel being from a music industry hub such as Los Angeles has helped your music career so far, or is more difficult since there is more competition in LA?
Will Ovid: I can honestly say being in Los Angeles has been a big plus for me, there is competition of course but there is also a huge family of musicians and producers that inspire and support each other.
Tony Coke: What’s next for Will Ovid and what’s the best way for people to connect with you?
Will Ovid:
I am currently making appearances and performing all over Southern California, to connect with me and get all the updates on whats currently happening check me out @WillOvid on
