Will is a touring artist and producer who has spent 25 years obsessing over how music makes people feel. His work has been featured on Pitchfork and NPR, and has taken him around the world touring internationally with critically acclaimed bands. As a DJ, he brings that same depth of experience and precision to private events, treating every wedding, corporate gathering, or celebration as a creative opportunity to craft something unforgettable. Will's background spans indie rock (Caracara, Steady Hands), indie electronic production (Buying Fireworks in Indiana, W.C. Lindsay), and years of touring across North America and Europe. This breadth of experience means he understands how to build atmosphere, read
energy, and deliver moments that stay with people after the night ends. What sets Will apart is his obsessive commitment to curation. He doesn't rely on generic wedding playlists or algorithmic suggestions. Instead, he crafts custom mixes that reflect your taste, your story, and the exact energy you want to create. Whether it's a sophisticated cocktail hour that transitions seamlessly into a high-energy dance party, or a ceremony that feels cinematic and intimate, Will approaches every event like a unique creative challenge. Will's range spans decades and continents. He's equally fluent in hip-hop, UK garage, Latin pop and Reggaeton, contemporary R&B, indie electronic, punk and post-punk, and Top 40. But his real skill isn't just knowing the music, it's understanding how genres speak to each other across time. He approaches every set like a narrative: weaving through eras and sounds to create those moments where a 1970s soul cut flows perfectly into a 2026 underground track, and suddenly the whole room understands the thread. He's constantly digging for overlooked classics and discovering new artists, which means he can build sets that feel both deeply nostalgic and completely contemporary. The goal isn't just playing songs people recognize, it's taking them on a journey through the culture of the music itself. Based in Chicago, Will spends his time producing music, skateboarding, drinking coffee, and traveling to discover new artists and sounds. Music has had him in a chokehold since he was a kid, and that obsession shows up in every set he plays.

DJ Elissa was fantastic! We knew we wanted to avoid the overbearing DJ that played all the stereotypical tracks, and Elissa delivered on that and then some. From the very first conversation, she was totally on top of things and easy to work with. She took the time to understand our music tastes, understand our crowd, and understand the vibe we wanted. The day and night of, she was subtle and professional, kept everything moving along, and played an unbelievable mix that perfectly represented everything we talked about. It's been 2 months since the party and we still get comments from our friends and colleagues about how great the music was! Elissa made our night even more incredible than we had hoped!
