Bill Webb expresses his inspiration through music. He is either composing music, arranging music or performing music —and sometimes he manages to do all three at the same time. His explorations of native instruments has led him to the series of CDs and performances known as Music for Massage and Yoga. He began his career as a pianist, continued with guitar, percussion, wind and string instruments, and his work with Native flute is especially imaginative and skillful. Bill’s versatility as a composer goes from gutsy soulful songs to New Age to Jazz to Pop with a little bit of Boogie and fun songs thrown in the mix.

Bill is now performing solo on flutes, guitars, keyboards, percussion and vocals and composes his own material. Yet, he must also express his Rock/Jazz/Blues roots so you will find him performing with Josh Knight in KNIGHT. (www.myspace.com/knightbandmusic) He has just produced and released two new albums, "Dream Presence" featuring Native Flute and "Light of Day" with KNIGHT, a rockin' Blues band with soulful ballads and jazzy instrumentals.

His Native Flute music can also be heard with Native American Artist Margarete Bagshaw's new collection of beautiful art sculptures. Look it up on youtube, Margarete Bagshaw Indian Market http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu_FmVUWCQo

He is well-known for his CD series, “Music for Massage and Yoga" He is a member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (The Grammys), the Nashville Association of Songwriters International, the Songwriters’ Guild of America and BMI. He is also a certified Pro-Tools HD 7 recording studio engineer and composes and records in his own studio.

It began at age seven with piano lessons, rock bands in High School, and music major at University of Wisconsin School of Fine Arts.

Touring the United States with Corey & Company, Bill then worked as the duo Webb & Kurz before joining The Lloyd Pedersen Show as musical director and keyboardist. After several years on the road, Bill returned to college to complete his Bachelors Degree.

Moving to Texas, Bill became a solo act, playing keyboard and singing in clubs like The Velvet Turtle and Durty Nelly’s Irish Pub on the famous Riverwalk in San Antonio. Bill was also a favorite entertainer for the San Antonio Opera and Ballet parties at the Jaffe Mansion.

His career as a composer began to accelerate in 1980 when Bill wrote the musical score for “Close Encounters of the Comfort Kind”; a 1982 musical staged in Comfort, Texas. Then he began producing albums for various singer/songwriters often composing, arranging and performing on these projects. He was a Regional semifinalist for the National Association of Songwriters songwriting competition in 1982.

In 1979, a life-changing experience put Bill in touch with a Higher Power which began communicating to him through music as he began to write music that was soul-changing. This inspiration has continued as he has made many trips through the SW US - the mountains, deserts, many Native American reservations with whose people he has become friends and learned much about the sacred Universe in which we live.

Bill then spent several years writing music for radio and TV programs and commercials aired in Wisconsin, Texas and the Dakotas. In 1992, he composed, produced and performed the music for “Harmonics”, a dance video distributed to this day in the U.K., Canada, Australia and the US.

In the 1990’s, Bill honed his skills as a composer by producing over 20 CDs for local and regional artists usually contributing as composer, arranger and studio musician. His productions began to lean more and more into the spiritual and meditative using natural instruments and many types of voices.

For Cheryl Kaufmann, singer/songwriter, Bill co-wrote and produced "Bright Star Heart Chorus". For Susan Paige, therapist, he co-wrote and produced the music for spoken word on "Kuan Yin Loving Meditation." For Jodi Hassler, he produced and wrote the music for a series of therapeutic CDs called "Relax, Listen and Learn". Other artists include Anna Parkins, P. Jae Stanley (“Bold Journey” and “Stir It Up”). and Marion Gray, (“The Father’s Love” and “Love Reaching”).
