Bill, born and raised in the Milwaukee area, has played guitar for around 25 years. He has been front man for Aftermath, and the Bill Heck solo project. Bill’s ultimate goal with music is to have fun with it, and put the talent back into the Rock where it belongs! He will often be seen tweaking guitar effects on the fly and looking for that "perfect" tone. This has become a bit of an obsession for Bill...the perfect tone. Bill’s major influences include Rush, Metallica, Satriani, and Eric Johnson.  To help him find that "perfect" tone, he uses Carvin, Ovation, Samek, and Fender guitars, Boss effects and Roland amplification.
