Songwriter-Singer.
It’s no secret that William Nesmith’s got a passion for crafting pop hits. From inspiring ballads to bubbly bops, he uses his impressive vocal range and unique registers to paint a spectrum of emotions.
William is a Carolina native, MBA grad and classically trained pianist. His music comes from a real place, full of true experiences and raw feelings. He seems to evoke an enduring optimism—even in his darkest songs while taking listeners on a ride they’ll never want to get off.
Since 2018, Nesmith has played hundreds of shows with an acoustic set of popular covers and fun original tunes (while wearing party sunglasses). He’s the 2018 Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) Songwriter’s Standoff winner and the 2020 Doodad Farm 60-second songwriting contest winner. He also placed 2nd in four categories in Yes Weekly’s “The Triad’s Best 2020” (Best Musician in the Triad, Best Songwriter, Best Vocalist, Best Piano Player).
Why now?
William Nesmith never saw himself as an artist— just a songwriter that live-demo’d tracks for artists to eventually record. But over the last few years, he went from a hobbyist writer to a full-time performing musician. This is his journey.
He also sings covers.
William has performed hundreds of public and private events with a set of genre-spanning cover songs—while wearing party sunglasses (for some added fun)!
