Chrysalis

The roots of Chrysalis stretch back to a tiny flat in West London in 1967, when former university social secretaries, Chris Wright and Terry Ellis, linked their flair for managing and booking bands to form the Ellis Wright Agency. After trying to release their bands' records via other companies, they decided to start their own label.

In 1968, they signed a licensing deal with Island Records with the proviso that if their acts achieved an agreed number of hits, they would be awarded a label of their own. Within a year, this tally was reached and Chrysalis Records was born.

Over the years, Chrysalis went through various ownership changes. In 1985, Chris Wright bought out Terry Ellis and later sold the label to EMI in 1991. EMI was then acquired by Universal Music Group in 2012 before selling the Parlophone Label Group (including Chrysalis) to Warner Music Group in 2013.

William The Conqueror is a talented artist known for his unique blend of folk, rock, and Americana music. With powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics, he captivates audiences with his raw and authentic sound. Drawing inspiration from artists like Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen, William creates music that resonates with listeners on a deep level.
Originally from Cornwall, England, William has been honing his craft for years, playing in various bands before embarking on a solo career. His debut album "Proud Disturber of the Peace" received critical acclaim and showcased his ability to craft compelling songs that tell stories of love, loss, and personal growth.
Whether performing live or recording in the studio, William's passion for music shines through in every note. His soulful performances leave audiences wanting more as he effortlessly connects with them on an emotional level. With each new release, he continues to push boundaries and evolve as an artist while staying true to his roots.

Back In Stock

Except it’s never enough, because despite their slinky, swampy, razor-sharp, blues-drenched, guitar thrashed alt. rock songs that form new album, Maverick Thinker and suggest that the door is opening for bigger rooms and broader audiences, it’s those sticky basement bar stages where the songs have always shed a skin and come alive. The record put the three piece behind the glass at Sound City Studios in LA, treading the same carpet as the likes of Nirvana, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, and Fleetwood Mac, and they might well have inhaled the spirit of them all.

William The Conqueror’s protagonist is Ruarri Joseph who knows his way around a melody and a verse. Joseph’s wryness suggests life just ain’t plain sailin’ and he fizzes that sigh and lament into something that breathes heavy with heart and with soul.
