Past History:
Injected with a bohemian lifestyle during a nomadic childhood, Nicholas Edward Williams began living on the road full-time in 2012 to pursue music and focus his writing on the evolving self.
"For me, there is an unrivaled freedom in allowing life to unfold in front of you, rather than trying to grab it by the horns.”
From 2007 to 2018, Williams performed under the moniker "Whetherman," independently releasing eight albums while touring the US, the UK and Europe. By mid 2017, Williams hit a wall after nearly six years without a break. This led to an evolution, dropping the "Whetherman" moniker, and setting forth under his full name starting in 2019.
