If I were to pick one single adjective to thoroughly describe Bill Wysaske, I think I'd definitely go with "cheerful". Golden blond, energetic, playful, sparkling, always smiling.. someone that will make you understand without any doubt that drums are his world, and he has great fun playing. His is definitely not a job, it's a passion to the maximum possible intensity.

Originally from Seattle he moved to Los Angeles like the majority of the members of Michael's band, after having attended the prestigious "North Texas University". He started playing drums at the age of 10 and now, at 27, he's already put together an amazing list of important names in the music business with whom he's worked with. One for all, Norah Jones.

He's one of Michael's favorites and you can understand why : his energy on stage is almost tangible and it gives Michael that "plus" input that helps him give his best to the audience. Off stage he's... exactly like he is onstage :) He's in love with Poker and Fashion clothes (Ferragamo and Fendi above all). He's got a smile for everyone and he's always sweet and kind. He also loves photography, and he congratulated me for those I took of us with the band...
I really have to thank him, because he was responsible for taking my all time favorite Michael picture, among all those I've seen so far. Thanks Hurricane Bill!! :)
