Will Clipman began playing his father’s drums and his mother’s piano at the age of three. He played his first professional gig at fourteen and has since then mastered a pan-global palette of ethnic drums and percussion instruments in addition to the traditional drumset. Will is a seven-time GRAMMY® Nominee, a three-time Native American Music Award Winner, a Canadian Aboriginal Music Award Winner, a New Age Reporter Music Award Winner, a two-time TAMMIE Award Winner, and has been inducted into the Tucson Musicians Museum for his contributions to the musical community in his hometown. Will has recorded over seventy albums, including thirty-five for Canyon Records, the world’s foremost Native American music label. In addition to his solo work, Will has performed and recorded with renowned Native American flute master R. Carlos Nakai for thirty years, and works with many other internationally acclaimed artists and ensembles. Will’s solo album Pathfinder earned a GRAMMY® Nomination for Best New Age Album, and his Planet of Percussion® performance and workshop takes audiences of all ages on a world tour of rhythm and polyrhythm. A poet since the age of six, Will has published a book of his original poetry entitled Dog Light (Wesleyan University Press) and his work has appeared widely in magazines and anthologies, including the St. Martin’s Press anthology Dog Music, the University of Nevada Press anthology TumbleWords: Writers Reading the West, and the Southern Poetry Review anthology Looking West. His writing has been honored with the Whiffen Poetry Prize, the Academy of American Poets Margaret Sterling Award, the Tucson/Pima Arts Council Poetry Fellowship, and the Arizona Commission on the Arts Award of Merit for Poetry. His poem The Quiet Power is the official Dedicatory Poem of the Tucson Main Library. Will is also an accomplished mask maker and storyteller. His Myths & Masks® performance and workshop combines his original mask art, mythopoetic storytelling, and multicultural world music, and is now available as a DVD. In his forty-year career as an arts educator, Will has conducted hundreds of workshops, lecture-demonstrations, master classes, full-length artist-in-residencies, and self-realization events for elementary, middle and high schools, colleges and universities, art galleries, libraries, adult prisons, juvenile detention facilities, adult assisting living communities, hospitals, parks and recreation programs, retreat centers, spas, and resorts. His service as an arts educator has been honored with the Arizona Commission on the Arts Decade of Distinguished Service Award and three Arizona Governor’s Arts Award Nominations.
