Dr Pepper Snapple Group hired Will to perform during a Canada Dry themed break time for our National Sales Meeting at the Hotel Intercontinental Dallas in September 2016. The entire process of selecting and hiring a musician was so easy and Will was very responsive as we planned the event and such a great sport. He arrived prior to his performance time to set-up and brought all necessary equipment. We just provided a chair for him to sit in and he did all of the rest. His music choices were spot on and we received so many compliments from our attendees. He is incredibly talented and very professional. Will is highly recommended by Dr Pepper Snapple Group!
