Who is Will Adams, you say? Well I'll tell you who I am. I've seen the world in my 6 years of service with the Navy. I like all types of music, but have an affinity for Hard Rock and Metal. I have had side jobs ranging from concert security, concert promoter & booker, club DJ & karaoke host and even a balloon animal maker. I am also a comics geek. I've been reading Spider-Man comics since the early '90s.
I want to change the music scene one band image at a time.
I strive to give a full package promotion to bands. Not only can I design logos, posters, CD covers, clothing and other swag; I also have experience with digital photography. Why run all over town when I can make sure you've got fliers, posters, CDs, T shirts and photography all in one place with me?
