Has anyone heard of him?
http://www.willmartin.net/
He was supporting the All Angels on tour and he was brilliant. Kind of like a New Zealand version of Josh Groban. He has such a fabulous voice and personality.
He was also on the recording/video of 'World In Union' and he's been known in NZ for about a year I believe.
I hope he goes far. x

yeah i have (with hand held high)
I accidentally stumbled upon him on itunes.
He is definitely a josh groban sound alike but has that choral influence like that of aled jones.
I do feel that his voice needs to relax a little, maybe that comes with maturity.
It would be nice if he did something more 'pop'ier or something that reflects his generation as to not sound to old, does that make sense?
I look forward to his future albums.
Best of luck |

| I have also just come across him he reminds me of a combination between Aled Jones and Jonathon Ansell (all.lin a very good way)looking forward to hearing and seeing more of this young man---though he does look like he should still be at school. (perhaps I am showing my age!!!!!) |

| I think he sounds "welsh" though we know heis not due to the similarity of a younger Aled Jones ( I presume he is welsh.?) |

Yes, he's made quite a sensation in New Zealand already. I have heard several of his songs - he does a good version of "Into The West".
He can do jazz too apparently - my Grandma heard him interviewed on the radio a few months ago, singing live in the studio.
