William draws from early folks stylings with embellished instrumentation. He is often compared to contemporaries Sufjan Stevens, Iron & Wine, and the late Elliott Smith, not only for his unique style and skill in writing and proclivity to deal with substantive and evocative subject matter, but also for his use of organic and colorful melodies and arrangements. His first two records were completely self-produced and 'The Sparrow And The Crow' (produced by Marshall Altman at Galt Line Studios in Los Angeles), is his first studio recorded work.
While his lyricism deals often with darker undertones (this album is said to have been written following his divorce), a measure of hopefulness is always carefully blended in. Even with his short tenure as a songwriter, William has already received mention in noted publications such as Billboard, Paste Magazine, and Performing Songwriter Magazine, and his music has been featured on several television programs such as 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Army Wives'.
