Rising Star Will Menchaca Live @ Capo Fes in Shimokitazawa

Last week DUKE CAPO in Shimokitazawa arranged their annual summer event called the Capo Fes, and several talented artists made their appearance. Among the performers was my good friend Will, who also happens to be an amazing singer.

Will came to Japan with the skills and desire to become a professional singer, and with fluency in Japanese he sure has a bright future ahead of him. For various reasons he had to put his career on the shelf for a while and as such ended up as one of my best-friend dōki (person who enter a company at the same time as you; in Japan most companies take in new grads shinsotsu in April and in some cases October) at my current company.

Yuma, Will and I

Although Will still is planning to work another year before his official debut he still has some amazing material out on the web already. For more information about what he is up to, please check out the following sites:
