This is the most sacred signature ever to have been scribbled upon my skin.
Actual photo(s) with William himself coming soon, if I don’t decide I look too wretched to expose the public of the internet.
I honestly keep forgetting to make my way over to this account to post these!
Things have been hectic for me lately, which is why I haven’t been on here in quite awhile. I apologize, lovelies.
These are pictures of me (Nini) and William from the Fight to Unite Tour 4/8 in Hollywood, CA. The show was amazing, William had a lot of energy and his attitude as WC rather than in Aiden is so different, it’s almost uncanny.
I’ll be heading to Anaheim next Tuesday, May 8th, to see him headline a show at Chain Reaction. I suggest any SoCal WC fans get their tickets ASAP or at doors.
I’ll post the link for May 8th’s tickets in another post. Hope you’ve all been well, school is almost over for me so I promise I’ll be here more frequently.

Would you please give us a bit of backstory on “Romance & Devotion”?
On it’s own and from the outset one would think that it’s a simple love song. Underneath the top layer of melody and inflection there’s an implication that the writer is willing to look beyond the abuse his lover has been the victim of, and show this woman a new definition of what love really looks like. This is one of the most intimate and compelling songs I have ever written. With that said, I don’t want to give away the entire story. I’d like the listener to interpret this song and this record all on their own.
When it came to funding this release, you launched the “Control Project,” which worked much like a self-ran Kickstarter. Having spent the past decade on a label with Aiden (and the first two WC full lengths), what sparked the initial idea to ask fans to help fund the record? Any hesitations going in/Plans to use it again in the future?
I posted something about having new ideas for songs that I wanted to record and someone suggested using kickstarter, or pledge music. I looked through both sites and saw that the concept was pretty basic, except they take 10 or 15% of what you make. Which is good for them. Bad for me. I saw no reason that the fans who love both Aiden and William Control couldn’t be called on to do the same thing. It turned out wonderfully. I raised over 20K and without having to deal with a label, or an A&R guy, or accounting employees I was able to get things done so much easier. Now, that’s not to say it was easy to get it all done. You really take for granted all the people who work hard for you when you are a part of a label. Victory was great in that sense. I love the people who worked my records. It was a shame to see some of them come and go from the label. I do feel a sense of freedom I’ve never felt before. It’s relieving and terrifying at the same time. As far as doing something like that again, I absolutely would. It’s only because of the people who love my music that I was able to pull it off. In the end, I have a product that people see value in and I am grateful for that. At least I’m not selling fake laptops to kids, right?

FIGHT TO UNITE TOUR
I got my ticket! I’ve actually had it for like two weeks now, but I’ve been taking time off from the site to get my shit together.
I’m better now, so I’ll try to get off my ass and start being better about posting here!
I’m going to the Key Club show in West Hollywood on April 8th, hit up the Ask box if you’re going too!
