Born in Little Haiti, Willerm expresses his love of his hometown and early influences.
"Little Haiti, oh how my heart misses you so much! I absolutely loved my childhood growing up in Miami. One of the most loving, funny, hard working communities that I have ever been a part of. God willing, I would love to end this story called life back home giving back all that I have learned in life. Growing up, there was a scene, but it wasn't accessible for kids, not like other cities such as Chicago or NYC. There's a cut off time for the city, and it probably was at your best interest that you went home during that time! Unfortunately, when I started playing the piano, I was the only one in my family (that I am aware of) that was in music. My biggest influences have been all my musical family, John McMinn: he had me at the age of 11 thinking "this is what I want to do in life", Melton Mustafa Sr.: Greatest musical mind I've ever come across, Christopher Dorsey: hard work, determination, never giving up, leave it all on the field, no excuses."
