From the page to the stage: William turns childhood fantasies into reality.
From the page to the stage: William turns childhood fantasies into reality.
In London, William Lee Adams is feeling disillusioned with his job, when a Romanian singer on a horse appears on his computer screen and he's inspired to start writing about the Eurovision Song Contest. Wiwibloggs is born, and grows to be the world's most-followed independent blog and video channel about Eurovision. In the process, he gets to visit some of the far-flung places he escaped to as a child in the US reading encyclopaedias.
William has written a memoir called Wild Dances: My Queer and Curious Journey to Eurovision.
