Artist: William Giovanni

Name: Will G Cashaw

Hometown: Johnstown, PA

Current town: Pittsburgh, PA

Music Genre: Hip - Hop

Bio:

In hip hop, bridging the gap from street smarts to book smarts has always been a sort of dangerous move. Until recent years, “street credibility” and education have not often gone hand and hand. But when positive influences in your upbringing consist of family, pastors, and drug dealers – a contradiction may be what the genre needs.

The Johnstown, Pennsylvania native – also known as Will Gee – mixes a slick vocabulary with a renowned style that has gained him fans from all different lifestyles. His most popular song, “Sweet Science,” is a Muhammad Ali themed flurry of lyrics laid to the soulful sounds of a track produced by Brown Bag AllStars producer, The Audible Doctor. The track has been featured on The Audible Doctor’s “The Spread EP”, Kevin Nottingham’s “Please Listen To My DEMOS, Vol. 1”, and most recently William Giovanni’s “The G Tape”.

William Giovanni is currently working with up and coming Pittsburgh artist Mars Jackson, Johnstown artist Biz. He hopes to work with other young artists such as The 58s, Tanya Morgan and The Embassy Music Board in the future.
