William Sturtevant on Motown Maurice's Hustle & Shuffle

 

Originally from Clifton Park, NY, William comes from a family of artists. Ever since he was two years old, he enjoyed entertaining people and making them smile. Inspired by

icons like Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr., 

 

He was consistently faced with opposition and lack of support, including from people he was closest to. He decided to forego his passion and built himself to become a successful graphic designer. He achieved success, yet something was still missing.

 

William’s life dramatically changed when his mother, Sandra, passed away in an unexpected accident. She was William’s only supporter. Inspired by a letter she wrote

him before her passing and in tribute to her, William relit the fire inside him and decided to never stop pushing until he became what he always had dreamed of: a professional

singer.  Most recently, William has been recording his first studio album in NYC and starred in his first music video, “Inspired”. He is also writing a script for a musical in collaboration with a community of artists and performers and will be starring in a second music video this summer. To cap of an already busy year, this fall will bear witness to a milestone for William and his career: the release of his first album. http://www.williamsturtevant.com/
