William Camilleri was born in London, England and took to the piano,
drums, violin and recorder at age 3. At 17 William moved to Toronto,
Canada and was told by Paul Robson the Driector of The Ontario College
of Percussion that he could easily become the
worlds greatest drummer, Paul suggested he take Private Tuition and
William was taken by world famous American drummer Peter Magadini who
was in Toronto at the time. William then moved to London and played with
many world famous artists ,namely Tina Turner on her hit single Lets
Stay Together.
William then found he couldn't fit in with traditional music groups and
set up his own Revival Studios where he composed his own special
brand of music. Soon after he was discovered by Prof Pirkilbauer
from the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria where he was commissioned to
compose and record his first CD. A year later William was discovered
again by Prof. Dr. Steven Paul the Head of A&R at Sony Classical in
New York who described Williams compositions as monumental.
Prof.Dr. Steven Paul also put William in contact with Martin Harry also
Head of A&R at Sony Classical who described his piano music as a
very unique type of music that he had never heard before. After this
meeting William was discovered in Hollywood by Claire Best at Marsh,
Best & Associates who said his music was rated alongside John
Williams, Hans
Zimmer, Danny Elfman, James Horner.
Marsh, Best &
associates signed him as a Composer on the strength of a CD composed, arranged and
recorded by William on a synthesizer! At that time this leading
Hollywood company didn't even have a music department so they opened
one about 6 months later.
William has composed over 40 CDs of
music, is highly gifted as he can compose all his music with ease
and without any changes. William calls this DIRECT COMPOSITION
even when William performs in concert he relies on sheer inspiration
and delivers the most powerful melodic music that can be heard
today.
In my humble opinion as a Professor of music in New York and having
worked with many world famous artists, I must say that William is a
musical phenomenon, a pioneer that is changing the course of
Classical music as we know it. William is the best thing since
Mozart, Bach and Beethoven - yet a prophet is not known in his own
country, it is simply a matter of time until William's music will be
heard worldwide. |
