WILLIAM ON TOUR IN EASTERN CANADA THROUGH MARCH

Toronto, ON – February 20, 2017 – Glassnote Entertainment Group is excited to announce the newest addition to the Glassnote Records and Insieme Music Publishing rosters, with the signing of Canadian singer-songwriter, William Prince, for the world.

“I’m thrilled about joining the passionate team at Glassnote Records. Daniel Glass and company have been so encouraging and I can’t wait to make music together for years to come. Our visions have aligned in a way that feels like everything I’ve hoped for,” William said.

Daniel Glass commented, “William is a remarkable artist. When I saw him perform at the JUNO Awards, the soulfulness of his voice moved me and I knew that together we could make magic.  We are proud and thrilled to welcome William to the Glassnote family!”

William is currently featured in the new MasterCard Start Something Priceless campaign.  For the project, MasterCard selected six emerging artists, each with unique backgrounds.  Each artist recorded a cover of Bo Diddley’s, You Can’t Judge a Book By The Cover. Listen to William’s version of the song here.

William Prince is a JUNO Award-winning singer-songwriter whose music is full of emotionally charged experiences that linger in memories. Raised on the Peguis First Nation of Manitoba, Canada, William has been honing his craft since the age of nine when he first picked up the guitar and piano. His biggest inspirations include Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Charley Pride, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson and most significantly, his preacher and musician father.

Recorded in just ten days throughout 2015, William alongside producer/collaborator Scott Nolan, created his full-length debut album, Earthly Days. He garnered honours such as Aboriginal Artist of the Year at the 2016 Western Canadian Music Awards and Contemporary Roots Album of the Year at the 2017 JUNO Awards. In a full circle moment, he inducted Bruce Cockburn into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame and earned praise from not just Cockburn, but fellow inductee, Neil Young. 

Led by debut single, Breathless, produced by Grammy-Award winning Dave Cobb, 2018 will see William boldly take the next step of his journey.
