Will's Story - Lead Vocals & Drums
Will Daniel was already a seasoned musician by the age of 12, having started piano lessons at just five years old. While drums were always his primary passion, his love for music led him to master a range of instruments over the years. With training from professional vocal coaches in singing and self-taught guitar skills, Will has become a true musical veteran.
As the drummer, vocalist, and songwriter for Born & Raised, Will’s most recognized local song is "Welcome to Placerville." He’s now eager to share more of his recent creations with a broader audience.
By 17, Will was in two bands that didn’t gain much traction, but the experience proved invaluable and laid the foundation for his later musical journey. At 20, he formed a band called As Of Now, which eventually evolved into the post-hardcore/screamo band The Promise Theory, bringing him significant exposure and growth.
After 25 years of on-and-off drumming, Will has found his stride as a singer and songwriter with Born & Raised. This project represents the most professional and ambitious venture of his career, and he’s excited to reach new heights with the band.
