Early life[edit]
WilliamMustBeControl'd became involved in music at a young age. Hip hop has had a profound influence on his music. At the age of 12, he learned the basics of FL Studios and began to produce shortly after.
Career[edit]
William has produced major hit songs that have topped music charts in Africa.[citation needed]
He released the instrumental compilation, Foundation, in 2013 which is available on DatPiff.com.[3]
He and producer Nasha Blaque teamed up on projects producing for headline artists in Southern-Africa as well as releasing free instrumental compilations online under the collective name PNRMA.[citation needed]
Following a series of free releases, during late 2015, WilliamMustBeControl'd and Nasha Blaque hosted Namibia's first beats auction.[4] The event is a musical art exhibition, an event where artists, writers and managers can congregate to network, appreciate creative sounds and eventually bid to buy instrumentals.[5]
