Meet the Mason Music Team
Will Mason
Owner/CEO
Will began playing music at 6 when his grandmother bought him a keyboard and his parents signed him up for piano lessons. This would be the beginning of a decades long love of music that would include touring in a band (Moses Mayfield), working as a worship leader for 9 years, playing hundreds of gigs, and producing music that would be featured in TV and film in his own recording studio. All of these experiences can be traced back to that 76-key Casio in 1989. (He even has the tattoo to prove it!)
These experiences were the inspirational fuel for Will to begin teaching his first students in 2007. This group of students would grow to form what is now Mason Music.
Will is married to Mallory Mason (owner of Daughters Baking) and enjoys training for triathlons and marathons, working in his yard, and raising two amazing children, Alice and Liam.
