Native Hawaiian Reggae artist William Alohi Kauhane, better known as Willz, is an Oahu-born singer/songwriter/producer. At age five, Willz and his family moved to Volcano, located on the big island of Hawaii, where he now operates his recording studio, Glory Sound Studios. His musical journey began when he was ten years old; his grandmother would make him listen to classical music, and then soon after, he started taking piano lessons. Willz singing career would spark when he would play Guitar hero and started covering all the artists from the video game-like Gunz & Roses and The Police. As soon as Willz began high school, he started getting into reggae music and was inspired by reggae legends Bob Marley, Gregory Isaac, and Don Carlos. Willz also is inspired by local talent Oahuâs own The green and Big Island band, The Steppas, who would be a big part of shaping his sound today.
