Tell us about yourself. Whats your name? Where are you from?
-My gov't is Alex Williams, my friends call me AL and my stage name is A.WiLL.
I'm from the home of Mardi Gras parades New Orleans, Louisiana and The Bay
Area, California where we got the best marijuana. Not that i would know
anything about that. (sarcastic laugh).
What does the word "based" mean to you?
-Based for me is like saying "Settled". So It just means to be at a solid state, in
a zone where you feel most comfortable.
How did you get into the music industry? What inspired you?
-I started writin' back in 2004 i believe, started recordin songs in 2005 with my
boys in high school. It was 4 of us..(Dre Weez, Big Gav, D.Sing) and then we
continued recording with another 1 of our bruh's (E-Walk). We all do still do
music together but each work on solo endeveours. The thing that inspired me
to do music was in 1999 my pops was killed, he worked for the oakland pd.
From then on i knew i had to do something that i loved and would make him
proud, i've always loved music so i started it and i dont think i'll ever stop.
It's a way for me to get things off my mind.
What upcoming projects are you working on?
-I have a few things im working on this year. I'm working on a couple solo
mixtapes the first one that im putting out is called "Just The Beginning", it will
have a few features from local bay area artists. My brother Slick, Dre Weez and
I will be working on a mixtape, and You'll probably see me featured on a few
artists tracks/mixtapes.
Are there any artists out there you would like to work with, but haven't got the chance yet?

would be Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj Jay-Z, Drake, Fabolous T.i., Ludacris, Juelz
Santana, Trey Songz, Wiz Khalifa, Kanye West, Common, Pharrell, Jadakiss,
Rihanna because i think her voice is so sexy, and Ryan leslie productions are
crazy but the list goes on.....
Who are your favorite artists right now?
-Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Drake
What are some things that people don't know about you?
-I hate spiders, i think i might have arachnophobia. haha.
Whats some advice you can give the people that want to get into the music
industry?
