Artist Bio Will Francis (Dolla Bill) started listening to music at the age of ten. His older sister had vinyl records cassette tapes that were popular during that time. These were his first influences that began to shape his musical awareness and creativity. At the age of sixteen, he started learning how to play guitar, writing lyrics and emulating the lyrical themes and vocal styles of bands and front men that were popular among his circle of friends. He tried out for a few bands as a vocalist but didn’t have the right type of voice for the kind of music he was trying to cover.
After writing a handful of songs together, Loren & Mikiros found some musicians and intensely rehearsed in a garage in the valley to prepare for their first show at Molly Malone’s. Shortly after, the Kids stepped into the studio for the first time at Hollywood Audio Lab, steps away from the famous intersection of Hollywood & Vine. As they continued to grow together as players, musicians, writers and performers, Loren decided to use the band as her final project where the Musician’s Institute awarded them for Outstanding Style.
“From the wildly beautiful to the hilariously bizarre”
Victoria has been singing with a guitar from the age of fifteen. Her original songs range in genres. Victoria hit the Cleveland folk scene in 1974. Bob Gibson said of her, “she sounds like herself and writes great songs, don’t compare her to Joni Mitchell or Joan Baez. Don’t change anything.” Victoria has had more than forty years since writing her own brand of song.
