Visit De Novo Magazine to read our interivew with indie rocker, Willie Herath.Willie Herath (pronounced like “Harris” with a big lisp) is an Illinois native; born and raised in Milan. Eight years ago, Willie ventured out to Hollywood in hopes of making it in the music business. As a child, his parents wouldn't allow him to listen to the radio or purchase music of his own. Eventually, Willie found a box of his father's old Beach Boys records which filled an enormous musical void inside of him. He started to learn how to play the guitar along with the piano lessons his parents had him taking. Around the age of fourteen, Willie realized the guitar was going to be his instrument of choice. He boldly told his mother that the piano lessons had to stop and instead, he started writing songs on the guitar.
Willie Herath recently sat down with De Novo Magazine to discuss life, music, and happiness.
Moreno: Thank you Willie for joining me today. At what age did you realize your passion for music/performance art?
Herath: I’ve always been interested in music and the whole entertainment industry, but never thought that it could be a possibility. I was living in France after high school, I had just turn 18, and to get away from hearing French all day, I would write songs. Lucky for me, Europeans love American music, so they enjoyed hearing my songs, even though they were written in English.
