Will Sheridan

Will Sheridan is a Brooklyn-based Hip Hop artist also known as G.I.A.N.T- Going In And Never Timid perfectly describing Sheridan's approach to art and life. In 2009, Sheridan dove into the rap game by releasing his debut EP, The Will to Win. Quickly recognized as a rising star and live performance juggernaut, Royal Advisor Records signed Sheridan to release his first official EP Ngoma which included hit single "Welcome to the Jungle".

Much of the language used on Ngoma was inspired by Sheridan's time in Kenya, where he serves as the ambassador for Ruiru Rising, his non profit benefiting orphans of Kenya and providing them with scholarships for education post secondary schooling. In 2011, Sheridan came out in a lengthy ESPN article titled "Gay and at Peace" written by Dana O'Neil. Immediately following the story, Sheridan was interviewed by Bob Lee live on ESPN as the first openly game American collegiate basketball player to come out as gay to teammates while playing at Villanova University.

In 2012, Royal Advisor Records and Sheridan released his debut LP properly titled, G.I.A.N.T. including singles Here Comes the Son, Blind, Set Fire to the Streets, What's Your Phunktion and fan favorite Haters. In 2014, Sheridan released critically acclaimed EP S.O.A.P showcasing the GIANT's versatility in flow and delivery, while proving that Sheridan was fearless and innovative in creating his own queer lane in hip hop music. em>S.O.A.P included singles SOAP, Make it Nasty and BOY.

In the summer of 2014, Sheridan was named Grand Marshall of Chicago Pride for his pioneering efforts as a queer in music and sports. In 2015, Sheridan released his second LP as a free download, G2 or GIANT 2 with singles Greedy, Boop and Push. This project prompted a multi-city west coast tour and Sheridan's first time curating a SxSW queer music showcase in partnership with The One Republiq music showcase in Austin, Texas.

Mid-year, Sheridan headlined his first international showcases in Vancouver, Canada with party production company Blow Pony and Berlin, Germany at the Yo Sissy Music Festival. In August of 2015, Sheridan released his first Remix album on Royal Advisor Records titled G2 available on ITunes, Tidal, Beatport and other online music retailers.
