Will McGowan Bio

2blessed Homepage

A side rarely seen, this gifted percussionist also possesses musical and lyrical talent.  A native of East Austin, Texas, will was so enamored with the drums that he taught himself to play at age 3, with nothing more than a couple of tree branches and empty cans of Crisco, while singing R&B songs by Motown greats.  Despite his grandmother's constant pleas to "quit making all that racket",  Will pursued his love of music and at age 19, with a real drumset in hand, played his first gig on Austin's famed 6th Street.  Since then, Will has served as worship leader in one of Austin's largest churches.
