William Varley

coach

I am an award winning singer-songwriter with over 20 years experience in the creative industries. I have sold tens of thousands of album and made a living soley from my music for over a decade. My songs have been streamed over 30 million times on Spotify and have been covered by household names. As a producer I have worked with grammy award winners and platinum selling artists as well as self producing my last two records. Over the years I have founded and run record labels and music festivals as well as travelled the world performing at some of the world's most prestigious stages including The Royal Albert Hall, Glastonbury and SXSW. Self managing my career through the release of 6 studio albums (working with independent and major labels) I have gained a huge amount of experience in the ways creative companies operate and how artists and individuals can become overwhelmed and unsure how to proceed with their careers. Due to a recent vocal injury I am unable to sing for the foreseeable future and so I am looking to provide insight and mentoring to other independent creatives at all levels of their career. I know how lonely the path to success can feel and I am excited to offer my support to you and be an unbiased listening ear. Early in my working life I had some success as an actor (appearing on stage and TV). More recently I finished my first full length novel and am currently seeking a publisher via a literary agent. I'm also a keen painter and visual artist and have displayed my work in galleries across the UK.
