“I Have No Idea…” by Red Robots Kill



Playing in a band for 6 years, he knew early on that it is extremely hard as a musician to get signed to a big time contract with a label. Through the years he learned a valuable lesson, that having a back up plan for when your dreams don’t come true is vital to future success.


Nearly 10 years later he figured out that he wanted to go back to school to be a chemical engineer. Wil quickly figured out that he didn’t want to be a chemical engineer, as the career path was very difficult for him to keep up with while working full time as a U.S. Postal employee. He also realized that while he loved the idea of the important title of “chemical engineer”, he had no idea what a chemical engineer actually does.


Fortunately for Wil, he took an elective that lead him into something he loves which is computer programming! In the mean time, he is still deeply rooted as a musician and does still produce music just one of his hobbies. Wil is also getting married to his fiancé, Jen, in October of this year!


Wil is a very good friend of mine, and I am very happy that he wanted to come onto Dreamers Podcast to talk about being a musician and reaching for his goals in higher education. I am also honored to say that I will be one of his groomsmen for his wedding. At the end of this episode, he decided to let me plug my DJ album, Adventurtorium. You can download it for free, or buy it on limited edition dual cds for $10. 25% of that goes to Give Kids The World, which is a great charity that brings children with life threatening diseases, with their families, down to Orlando, Florida to enjoy the theme parks and stay in a big house. The kids and their families get a chance to forget about all of their worries, and just be kids.
