Biography

William Morín is a passionate singer, guitarist and composer from New York City who has given many solo concerts since making San Francisco his home. William has been wowing audiences with his unique vocal bravado and emotionally packed solo performances, combining beautiful classic Spanish ballads, rousing jazz and latin numbers, original pieces and songs in any of nine languages. Among many venues, William has performed at the Plush Room of the York Hotel, The Palace Hotel, The Palace of Fine Arts and the Fairmont Hotel, to name only a few. The Examiner proclaimed William as "a rare talent…beautiful (the) way he manipulates those strings, the silken embrace of his voice and the universal appeal of his lyrics." An audience member described William’s show like this: "I felt as if I had been at a masseuse for two hours!" And L. Pierce Carson of the Napa Valley Register declared, "William Morín is the real McCoy—a first rate talent…this guy is amazing!" William is especially committed to causes, offering performances for AIDS and cancer research and support, homelessness, and recently, the Katrina Hurricane Relief Effort. William began 2005 by donating the proceeds of his first performance toward the Tsunami relief effort.
