His debut album named FARSUCT (Delabel / EMI Music), which can be described as 'Future Funk', was released in january 2004 to critical acclaim. Things took a turn in 2006 when he founded 'Seppuku Paradigm' with Alex Cortés. The pair went on to score four full feature films (Pascal Laugier's MARTYRS amongst others). In 2010 he won the 'best original soundtrack' award at Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival, which he shared with his brother Alex, for their work on 'RED NIGHTS' a french / hong-kong production, directed by Laurent Courtiaud & Julien Carbon.
Today, ten years after FARSUCT, Willie is back to his first love with a new set of songs he wrote, composed, produced and performed as a solo act. After a successful crowd funding campaign in which one of these new songs ['Note To Self'] has been given as a reward to donators exclusively in the form of a 7 inch limited edition vinyl record, the 6 track EP named 'OMNIA DIMITTENTUR' (Latin for 'All Is Forgiven') is about to be released.
On stage he is joined by 'Babyshambles' original guitarist Patrick Walden and dancer Emilie Camacho who has worked with artists such as 'Stromae' .
