“I was your typical bossy older brother,” Charlie Sexton said, laughing. “But Will really loved music. Soon after learning bass, he switched over to play lead guitar, too. I tell him a little bit of what I learned, but he’s my younger brother and I don’t want to give him a hard time. So I usually wait until he asks for my advice before I go butting into his life.”
“I think I was very lucky because I knew what I wanted to do at a very young age,” Will Sexton said. “My mother was very encouraging about everything we chose to do. So when Charlie and I were 10 and 8, we’d be dragging our guitars to clubs with our mom. Some people thought that was kind of funny but we were dead serious about our music. Hard work pays off. So when people say, `You’re awfully young to have a record deal,’ I think, ‘Yeah, but I’ve been playing more than half my life.'”
