PC: You’re also the founder of Music for Wishes. Tell us about the foundation. Have you always known you wanted to use your platform to give back?
Will: From an early age, I’ve always wanted to find a way to combine my passion for music with my passion for helping others. In 2017, Music for Wishes was born. It’s an event that’s hosted annually. It’s a benefit for Make-A-Wish Foundation. It impacts and benefits local children for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. We’ve raised over $85,000 for local children in Somerset, Kentucky.

PC: What does the rest of the year hold for you as we look to the end of 2019 into 2020?
