William Diaz breaks into the charts with new hot single "Payday"

William, also known as vvill, is an American DJ, Producer and Entrepreneur who was born and raised in Los Angeles. He is most known for his range in electronic dance music. William developed his passion for music at a very young age while attending after school programs and summer camps for arts. As a child, William learned to play guitar but was always interested in electronic music and fascinated by music festivals. In his early teenage years, William learned how to DJ and developed his alias ‘vvill’ as a shorthand for will. He was inspired by the festival culture after attending EDC, Ultra, and Coachella. Eventually, William dropped out of business school at Cal State Northridge to pursue entrepreneurship, where he would start his advertising agency. William’s agency was acquired in early 2022, where he would then pursue music full time going by the alias vvill. William Diaz now resides in Miami, Florida. -- Digital Journal

New owners take over bookstore in Washington County hillside

Nichols, a graphic designer, learned about the property by chance while scrolling through Facebook. She sent the listing to her husband almost as a joke. The couple was established in L.A., where Nichols, 34, grew up. Kufs, 43, a Long Island native, lived in L.A. for 20 years. They owned a home and Kufs was working as a musician and an adjunct English professor at California State University Northridge. If not for the pandemic, the couple might have kept to the path they were on, but the upheaval led them to re-evaluate their lives. Nichols left her job in 2018 and was working on a degree in library science. Kufs wondered how long he could continue to be an adjunct in the hopes of finding a job as a full-time professor, or if he finished his Ph.D., if he would end up with a job in a place he didn't want to be. -- Times Union
