Williams, Brian
Voice

Brian "Hacksaw" Williams has been entertaining audiences since shortly after the creation of the wheel. In the summer of 1985, he thrilled his parents by moving to Los Angeles with his high school rock band instead of attending the Ivy League school to which he had been accepted. Since that fateful decision, Hacksaw has recorded and performed with numerous aggressive ensembles in LA and across North America. He has also supplemented his income as a comedy writer, received a B.A. in Political Science from UCLA and generally avoided substantial jail time. In his free time, he likes to knit Velcro jumpsuits for his two cats: Daisy Mae & Sugar Bear. Hacksaw's latest musical project is Damn Hippie Freaks. At VIT, Hacksaw teaches the Hard Rock Live Performance Workshop, The Art of Success 1 & 2, Extreme Vocals 1 & 2 and Vocal Private Lessons.
