About Wil Merrell
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
My earliest memory is singing in my grandmother’s living room with my musical family. We’d perform and critique the performances. Though I first sang publicly in church, my true start was in that living room, where my love for music was born.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Andraé Crouch, The Light Years: Andraé Crouch
Frank Sinatra, The Essential Frank Sinatra
Nat "King" Cole, Nat King Cole
Andraé Crouch’s The Journey bridges my worlds: gospel and musical theatre. Sinatra at the Sands with Count Basie blends Sinatra, jazz, and big band. Nat King Cole Sings/George Shearing Plays is a timeless classic and favourite of mine.

“Whatever Will I Do”
“Whatever Will I Do” was the first release on my own label that had full, live music and that I fully funded myself.

Playing Lion in a run of The Wiz. It’s one of the times I had the most fun on stage.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
Yes!! I would absolutely love to have a Wil Merrell world symphony tour
