Episode #9: Bill Wadhams from Animotion

This month’s guest on Living A Vocal Life is Bill Wadhams, one of the lead singers from the 80s synth-pop band, Animotion whose song Obsession landed in the top 10 in countries around the world in 1984.

I’ve known Bill for years, but recently we had a chance to get to know each other better on a tour he’s dubbed, The Genius Insanity Tour, otherwise known as Lost 80s. In 2018 alone, our band’s played 22 cities together in three months. As he puts it, “The genius part is getting all the bands together. The insanity part is what happens when all the bands get together.”

Bill is a multitalented artist. Since his MTV days, life has been a series of creative projects, from his work as a songwriter, to stints as a graphic designer with companies like Nike and Citigroup. His latest foray is into the world of musical theater, where he’s found a home both as a singer and creator. Whether he’s performing, composing, or telling a great story, Bill is a natural.
