About William Bishop

Hey, Here is a brief biography, I think I’d be a great fit for the show: I performed orchestral works and other musical genres before learning to play the guitar and perform at smaller venues on the London circuit.

I was awarded an Ma in English Literature and studied for a PhD under Brian Cummings, fellow of the British Academy.

In a breakaway from his stifling classical background, I went on to writing his own songs.

I learned piano from Robin Coward, pianist for Passanger, and Camille Phillips, drummer with the Subways.

He then recorded three full-length studio albums and amassed a following of over 1.5 million on social media and my last album gained 4 million Spotify streams in its first week.

My music is used on degree courses at The Universities of York and Sussex
