| the inspiration |
Williams and Blake was inspired by my teenage years, when i was younger i hated the thought of reading books, i thought as kids may think then books are boring, its wasn't until had a great teacher(and friend)called Mr daisaku Ikeda who piped my thrist for reading (that was in 2005), Mr Ikeda stated "that reading is a skill that ONLY a Human being can do" i found this very fascinating ordinary yet Extraordinary. reading allows us to see thousands of year into the past, learn from great think such as: Goethe, socrates, Alexander Dumas. enter a world where still seems to pause, have an adventure with unlimited possiblities, i guess i really wanted to celebrate that, LITERATURE, which are WORDS which triumph human creativity, whether spoken,sung or Written.
the name william and blake itself comes from a silly little promise i made to the great English literature poet and painter William Blake (1757 - 1827) in which i was looking for a stage name for which my mum suggest Blake after the poet, at that point i had no clue who he really was or famous for, that same night, i happened to run across his burial site (old street), and asked "hey William you don't mind do you if borrow your name, promise to read a book" in which i took his momentarily silence as a yes,
I was contemplating on the name change but my recent friendship with the fellow singer/songwriter Dele williams in which i share alot of escapades with reminded me of the term WILLIAMS AND BLAKE,
With this name i hope to honour a tremendous writer/painter and a great friendship and promote Great wisdom of Literature not only to myself to any consumers.
