W&A - UP CLOSE

Will and Anthony have been performing since they were children.

“Our mom said we had been singing since the womb,” Anthony said. “There’s a photo of my Dad teaching us a song when we were 4 months old. He was our first musical director.”
Will added, “One of my earliest memories is having a karaoke machine. Mom was filming while Will and I were singing, and Dad was wrapping our Christmas presents behind our backs. We were singing ‘Jingle Bells.’”

“Growing up, while other kids were listening to Madonna and other pop artists, we were listening to Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald.”

Both sang in high school musicals at Pelham Memorial High School. One of their early professional jobs was singing in a commercial for Honey Nut Cheerios.  A real turning point came when they both went to Boston College.

“We were on our way to try out for the Division I tennis team,” Anthony said. “We are both very competitive. We saw a poster for tryouts for Godspell and decided to try out. I got the part of Jesus and Will got the part of Judas. We were able to revel in our individuality yet share the stage as brothers.”

Dubbed “a dynamic duo with beautiful voices and charming personalities” by Cleveland Pops conductor Carl Topilow, Will and Anthony have traveled the world - from New York to San Francisco to Singapore - with their duo concert act.

Some of their recent television appearances include ABC’s “Good Morning America,” NBC’s “Columbus Day Parade” and “The Rachael Ray Show.”

The brothers have performed stand-up comedy at Caroline’s Comedy Club & Gotham Comedy Club in NYC. They have trained in improv comedy at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theatre in NYC.

Will & Anthony’s debut album, “Make Someone Happy,” is an intimate collection of some of their favorite songs from Broadway and the American and Italian Songbooks. The CD has been picked up by Barnes & Noble stores around the country.

One achievement they are proudest of is their “Double Duty” program.

“Double Duty” is an educational outreach program where the brothers travel to colleges, high schools and elementary schools and speak to students about the importance of arts education and about their personal journeys in music and the entertainment business.
While on tour, they work with a venue’s education director to take time to speak with students. They offer advice to students while engaging them in a dialogue about the arts and living out their dreams. Arts education and radiating a positive outlook for the arts and in life are of prominent importance to both Will and Anthony.

“One of my biggest thrills as a child was when performers came to school to talk about the arts,” Will said. “The motto of Boston College is, ‘Men and Women for Others,’ and we want to inspire kids to follow their dreams.”

The brothers had their own teachers along the way.

“We had mentors to help us,” Anthony said. “We tell them to look for mentors and to do what they love. Especially today, with arts education being cut, kids need to find the people who can help them make their dream come true. And since we are not much older than they are, we can show them that we are still on a journey and we enjoy it.”
