He accepted the Lord as his Savior at a young age, baptized by the late Reverend Vernon S. Joshua of Second St. John of Avondale, Louisiana on October 3, 1996. As a young adult he placed his membership at Evening Star Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Reverend Keith P. Stewman. There, he was a faithful member of the youth and young adult choir as well as the male chorus until he relocated to Dallas, Texas. Will was educated in the Jefferson Parish school system. He attended West Jefferson High School and graduated in 1998. Shortly after graduating, he enlisted in the United States Navy. Upon graduation he was honorably discharged due to a medical condition of the eye. He later attended Southern University New Orleans where he studied architecture, utilizing his gifted drawing abilities. Throughout high school, Will started a boy group with a cousin/godbrother Arnold "Tay" Wright, best friend Derek Williams, godbrother Ralph "Boogly" Woodruff Jr. and Jerry Brock.
