00:00.540 --> 00:04.460
mhm . Yeah , yeah .

00:04.840 --> 00:08.420
Mm hmm . Hi , I'm specialist William

00:08.420 --> 00:10.587
Hibbitts . I'm a combat medic with the

00:10.587 --> 00:12.476
second battalion , 127th Infantry

00:12.476 --> 00:14.531
Regiment . I've been in the National

00:14.531 --> 00:16.531
Guard for 5.5 years . And the thing

00:16.531 --> 00:18.587
that I like about it the most is the

00:18.587 --> 00:20.420
bond , your experience with your

00:20.420 --> 00:22.698
friends out there , the good , the bad ,

00:22.698 --> 00:24.976
all of it . You experience it together ,

00:24.976 --> 00:26.920
you embrace the . So far . My best

00:26.920 --> 00:29.142
experience has been all the people I've

00:29.142 --> 00:31.309
met , whether it be through training ,

00:31.309 --> 00:33.309
flying or spending the night in the

00:33.309 --> 00:35.476
woods on top of being a soldier in the

00:35.476 --> 00:37.364
Wisconsin Army National Guard . I

00:37.364 --> 00:39.253
pursue a music career . I've been

00:39.253 --> 00:39.210
interested in music since I was a

00:39.210 --> 00:41.432
little kid And I've been playing guitar

00:41.432 --> 00:43.220
now for 17 years .

00:43.450 --> 00:48.940
I

00:48.950 --> 00:52.830
nowadays I'm a modern folk singer

00:52.830 --> 00:54.941
songwriter with five songs out , four

00:54.941 --> 00:57.108
of which you can find on any streaming

00:57.108 --> 00:58.108
platform .

00:58.108 --> 01:06.440
I

01:06.450 --> 01:08.700
really enjoy this career . And my

01:08.700 --> 01:10.644
favorite thing about it is writing

01:10.644 --> 01:12.533
music that people can relate to ,

01:12.533 --> 01:14.589
whether they're going through a hard

01:14.589 --> 01:16.811
time or a good time , lyrics that speak

01:16.811 --> 01:18.867
to them , having this kind of outlet

01:18.867 --> 01:20.867
has really helped me with any of my

01:20.867 --> 01:20.670
struggles . Whether it be a good day ,

01:20.670 --> 01:22.730
bad day , I can always come to music

01:22.740 --> 01:25.210
and feel better . I'm most excited

01:25.210 --> 01:27.377
about finishing up the album I've been

01:27.377 --> 01:30.200
working on and my goal is to one day be

01:30.210 --> 01:32.432
a touring artist . I'd have to say that

01:32.432 --> 01:34.654
my favorite song is always the one that

01:34.654 --> 01:37.150
I'm currently working on because that's

01:37.150 --> 01:39.310
where I'm at emotionally or that's

01:39.310 --> 01:41.421
where my thoughts and feelings are at

01:41.421 --> 01:43.532
the time . And that's where I put the

01:43.532 --> 01:44.532
most heart

01:44.532 --> 01:48.810
being

01:48.810 --> 01:50.588
a soldier in the Wisconsin Army

01:50.588 --> 01:52.699
National Guard and doing music really

01:52.699 --> 01:54.588
works out well together . Because

01:54.588 --> 01:56.754
meeting the people I've met and having

01:56.754 --> 01:59.030
them support me in my army career and

01:59.030 --> 02:01.252
my musical career really means a lot to

02:01.252 --> 02:03.363
me . You can find my music at will if

02:03.363 --> 02:06.050
it's music on facebook , instagram ,

02:06.050 --> 02:09.940
twitter and then Spotify itunes , Apple

02:09.940 --> 02:11.900
music amazon . It's all just well

02:11.900 --> 02:12.450
habits .
