Willie Shaw

Hailing from Orange County, Willie first identified the potential of music at home. Possessing an impressive voice of her own, mom sang backups during sessions at the famed Capitol Records studio in Los Angeles. In high school, Willie found his voice. Focusing on baseball, football, and basketball at the time, he enrolled in a concert choir class. In order to salvage his grade from a “B” to an “A,” he took the stage and sang Stevie Wonder’s “You Are the Sunshine of My Life.” Not only did he secure the grade, but his teacher invited him to join honors choir. For the next four years, he split his time between the baseball diamond and choir practice, running back and forth to both. Attending William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA, he played baseball at the college level in addition to writing and performing. Beyond regular gigs at the student lodge, he busked in colonial Williamsburg. Upon graduation, he picked up and moved to Nashville. By day, he held down an accounting gig for NASA. At night, he devoted countless hours to songwriting. In the end, Willie Shaw might just make you realize something about yourself as he soundtracks his journey (and yours). He continues to expand his fanbase via TikTok where he was included in their emerging artists playlist for his previous single “Needed Somebody”. Shaw has opened for acts such as Old Dominion, Brantley Gilbert, Train, Rick Springfield, REO Speedwagon and others.
