With over a quarter century of skillful & steady industry navigation in his rear-view mirror, veteran smooth R&B stylist Will Downing still has his hands firmly on the wheel and his foot pressed on the gas. The road ahead is looking brighter, the tunes keep getting better and Downing is clearly enjoying the ride!
And what a ride it’s been for the Brooklyn born Prince of Sophisticated Soul. As he pulls up on a milestone 17th studio release, his journey’s longevity has been warmly respected by his contemporaries and celebrated with love and support from thousands of adoring fans.
Downing has come a long way from his first national exposure as a popular backing vocalist in the 80’s before signing with Island Records. He recorded two albums with modest success domestically, however his self titled Will Downing release spawned a major hit in the U.K. with a Top Ten charting cover of “A Love Supreme” catapulting the album to platinum sales there.
