Will and the People was formed in 2010 after the band members met at Glastonbury Festival . On May 18, 2012, the quartet released their debut album, named after the band, which immediately achieved great success in the Netherlands. The album was in the meantime at number 10 in the Dutch charts , the song Lion in the Morning Sun became a small hit and reached number 10 in the Top 100, number 9 in the Top 40 and was also a 3FM megahit in the 19th calendar week of 2012 on the Dutch channel 3FM .
Neither the 2013 album Friends nor the 2014 Whistleblower could build on this success . In 2011 and 2012, Will and the People performed at the Lowlands Festival.
