Artist Spotlight: Will Walker 🎤


Will Walker is a dynamic singer with a rich musical history rooted in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. His journey began in the world of gospel music, where he honed his vocal talents and performed with passion and conviction for over a decade. As a worship leader in a nondenominational church, Will’s powerful voice and heartfelt connection with his audience were integral to shaping the worship experience. His deep love for music, coupled with his faith, laid the foundation for his early career, allowing him to develop a profound sense of musicality, emotional depth, and purpose.

In 2017, Will made a life-changing decision to move to Cancun, Mexico, marking the beginning of a new chapter in both his personal and professional life. Leaving behind the familiar sounds of gospel, he found himself drawn to a genre that spoke to his evolving artistic identity: Neo-soul. With its smooth rhythms, emotionally charged lyrics, and deep grooves, neo-soul resonated with Will on a profound level. He embraced it as the new soundtrack of his life, using his voice to convey the raw, soulful emotions that now define his performances.

Now calling Puerto Vallarta home, Will has spent the past three years reestablishing himself in the vibrant local music scene. After a period of reflection and artistic growth, he emerged from a brief hiatus, ready to share his evolved sound with the world. His transition from gospel to neo-soul has been a journey of self-discovery, allowing him to fuse his spiritual roots with a modern, soulful edge that resonates with diverse audiences.

Will’s performances in Puerto Vallarta have been nothing short of captivating. He has graced some of the city’s most prominent stages, with standout appearances at events like The RISE Competition, Casita & Garden, and a sold-out performance at Casa Karma during the Summer Series, where he delivered a mesmerizing show that left audiences enchanted. His ability to connect deeply with his listeners, drawing them into the emotions of each song, has made him a standout artist in the local music scene.

With a passion that transcends genres and a voice that speaks to the soul, Will Walker continues to evolve as an artist. He is not just a performer but a storyteller, using his music to share his journey, struggles, and triumphs. From the heart of Atlanta to the stages of Puerto Vallarta, Will’s musical path is one of transformation, resilience, and soulful expression, making him a compelling and inspiring artist to watch.
