For more than a decade, Will's been entertaining kids through his bilingual music in English and French, inspiring them to be active, healthy, creative and engaged in the world. This past May, Will released his 10th album, “Rocks and Roots," a celebration of nature, trying new things and going on outdoor adventures with family. It's a masterpiece of mischief and fun, further cementing Will’s Jams as the ultimate star of children’s rock and roll. Get ready for the mosh pit, kids!
