A person who is always traveling or visiting a place for pleasure. That’s how William Phillips’ name defines his adventures as a musician. “It allows me to write whatever I want. My writing takes me to lots of places: electronica, garage, piano. I want to write anything, and the name Tourist lets me do that.”

Growing up with three sisters meant the young producer had to find his own entertainment as a child. He found his kicks in music, and more specifically the piano. “Those were my earliest musical memories” begins William, who is still in his early twenties, “I played the piano for a long time. I tried to have lessons, but I couldn’t stand the thought of some old fart talking me through D major scale”.

Tourist is the musical moniker of London born Will Phillips. Combining emotive, melodic sensibilities with innovative production values, Will incorporates his love for analogue tapes and field recordings with his passion for synthesizers and sampling to create a euphoric, melancholic sound that plays equally well on the dance floor as it does in more intimate environments.
Will has steadily made a name for himself over the last year with his first EP, "Placid Acid" released in 2012 and his new EP "Tonight" released earlier this year, both of which were met with widespread critical acclaim. 2013 has also seen Will debut his live show – with dates across Europe and a live Boiler Room performance, Will is playing to ever increasing crowds.
With a new EP set for release this Summer, new dates across Europe and North America – 2013 is set to be an exciting year for Tourist.
