About Bill Edwards, bass-baritone
Musician 1st Class Bill Edwards is a baritone/bass vocalist for the US Navy Sea Chanters. Though he's now known for having a beautiful, clarion baritone voice, he began his professional career as a boy soprano and can sing higher than most of the women in the group! Before joining the Navy in 2006, he worked as a vocalist for Disney and considers himself a roller-coaster and theme-park aficionado.
