Hello Music World. My name is William Walters III. My stage name is WillXL. I was born October 5 1987 & have been writing music since age 10 in 1997. I am a music artist, performer & writer for myself & other artist of ALL genres of music. My specialty is RAP, specifically metaphorically, deep critical thinking punchlines. I also write for Singers, R&B & Pop Artist as well. I am here for anyone looking for a creative writer for any songs you may need done. I work relatively fast & I also have access to Music producers who can also create you custom original beats to go along with these songs I write for you if you preferred, (additional charges for the original custom beats would be required) but if you have your own beats you need me to.make a song to that's fine as well. So please feel free to contact me with ANY song ideas you may need written & I will be more than happy to assist you the best way I can. Looking forward to creating & writing new music for any and everyone on this site who is ready to have their songs "Sound Better" no pun intended lol
Tell me about your project and how I can help, through the 'Contact' button above.

A: I bring creativity, energy, flow, deep bars with punchlines in metaphorical form. I try to have the listeners feel the emotions through my lyrics. I put my heart and soul into everything I write. Nothing is forced. If it doesn't come naturally or feel right, I won't write. No pun intended.
