William Ackerman has gained prominence both as a musician and a businessman, and at least unitary of those occupations seems to deliver been unplanned. Though Ackerman has played guitar since the old age of 12, when he dropped extinct of college it was to grow a carpenter, and his low gear mechanism company was called Windham Benny Hill Builders. Simply Ackerman composed guitar music for Stanford University University dramaturgy productions, and the encouragement of friends light-emitting rectifying tube him to record an record album of his tunes, The Search for the Turtle's Navel point, in 1976. The album was surprisingly successful, and Ackerman plant himself in the music business enterprise.
Since then, Ackerman has continued to record book his have albums, to grow Windham J. J. Hill albums for such other artists as George Winston, Alex de Grassi, and Liz Narrative, and to serve in several capacities in the phonograph record ship's company. (He stepped toss off as CEO in 1986; his purpose right away primarily concerns A&R, the link between a record company and its artists.) Though Ackerman has long since sickened of the new-age tag, sullen physical force against anyone categorizing Windham Hill's music with the condition, he has had more to do with the heighten of acoustic-based instrumental music as a popular form in the '70s and '80s than anyone else.
