"There's wild, intense parts and then there's times when truth that may have been buried comes to the surface, people are a lot more open in those situations than they are in everyday life."

Hailing from the Australian coastal town of Tweed Heads, Willaris. K was responsible for monitoring the power conversion at substations, along the New South Wales and Queensland border, before quitting his day job to pursue music full time.
