Parlier’s first instrument was the piano, which was more so his parent’s idea than his, but it did not instantly strike him as appealing and quickly Parlier discontinued his lessons. Only a couple years later he regained interest in music while visiting a family friend who he called E.T. He found both an old classical guitar and an auto harp in her attic and it opened many new doors for Parlier. Slowly he began to pick up the ability to play almost any instrument you handed to him.
At the age of 13 his parents bought him recording software, a midi keyboard, and microphones, and Parlier’s producing really began to lift off the ground. As he learned his way around his recording software he also began to delve in electronic music, and with that came his invite by UK producer Greg Hartley to join their abilities to form the electronic music duo entitled Idiot-Gene. Parlier and Hartley produced genres all the way from minimal electronica to trance.
While William was in Idiot-Gene he also produced electronic music under the name Grünhexe, and recorded and produced film scores and folly for student films throughout the country for students attending schools such as The University of North Carolina School of the Arts, and Perpich Center for Arts Education. Parlier also attended various summer music programs such as Cannon Music Camp, and New England Music Camp where he was introduced to theory and orchestration, and studied performance in one of his favorite instruments: the tuba.
Only a year after it’s creation Idiot-Gene split up and went there separate ways. It was here where Parlier really started to delve into many different genres, and even study more extensive orchestral compositions. Looking for a new sound for his work, Parlier began to learn sythesis, and how to program both software synths, and large modular systems.
At the age of 15 Parlier was accepted to attend the University of North Carolina School of the Arts for tuba performance, which opened many new doors for him. His understanding of music grew much more board, and his interest spread from classical to pop music. His production also gained more practice because he composed for even more films, and would record small ensembles, and auditions for students to send to universities and summer music programs.
Parlier attended UNCSA again in 2009 to continue his path as a concert tubist, but later decided that what he truly wanted to do was produce music. During this time he did however meet his current producing partner Stephen Phillips (Mospheric) who was his roommate at the time, and a year later they merged together to form the electronic duo March of the Elephants. Now working on their first album entitled Japanese radio, which is to be released in 2011.
Along with producing with colleagues, Parlier works with many musicians, from vocalists to rappers, under the name Will.E.P.

대체 너가 뭘 알기는 알아? yah
정말 hi-lite을 사랑하긴 하냐? yah
정말 행복을 바라기는 하냐? whoo
우리 공연 와봤으면 말을 말아
쉐꺄, 우리처럼 살아보지 않았잖아
쉐꺄, 우리 보러 뭐라 뭐라 하지 마라
쉐꺄, 우리 잘나가지
악플을 달아 더 많이
무관심보다 훨 낫지
차라리 그리고 그게 돈이 된다는 걸 이제 알지
그래서 일부러 건드는 거야 간질간질
팬들은 상처받지 마
즐겨봐 우리 하는 모든 것은 멋진 거야
느껴봐 모른다면 네가 감이 없는 거야
븅딱아 가망 없는 너희 사람 취급 못 해
난 아야 뼈 때려, 뼈 때려
현피는 no (no) 근데 늘 이기는 게 현실이고 (고)
어떻게 더 잘하지? 나이 먹어서
멍청한 소리 말아 클래스는 영원
모른다면 배워봐 역힙꼰
내 사진이나 영상에 그걸 붙여
뜻이 궁금하면 DM을 전송
성공 뒤에 성공 또 성공
엄지, 검지 그리고 새끼 들어봐
아니면 나쁜 쉐끼 번쩍 들어
Hi-lite sign 어이없게 잘나가
번쩍 들어 hi-lite sign
번쩍 들어 hi-lite sign
뭔 말인지 알겠냐? 가나다라마바사
Hi-lite, hi-lite, H-I-L-I-T-E
My life so bright like fye
Hi-lite, hi-lite, hi-lite
부럽지? 난 오빠들이 너무 많아 족보 박살
define impact 어떻게 내면 될까?
Cash or credit? street cred은 받아줄까
네가? you and your incest love
네 입에서 나오는 오답이 내 귀까지 들릴 리가
난 너의 주위 그 주의 주위 분이
낳은 주변의 사람도 아니고 난 단지
토끼 눈을 사칭하는 새끼들까지
예쁘게 봐줄 분은 전혀 못된단 얘기지
아니 네가 왜 날 보고 pussy래?
기생오라비년들은 전부 다 내 접시에
지구 반바퀼 돌아봐도 이래
아니 이건 뭐래? 예쁘긴 한데 난 걍 다시 돈으로 받을게
Ayy, miss, miss, I'm a misfit
I take cashes, not kisses
Front this bitch, where the fuck is your gear?
Smooching I hear, that's my diss kiss
I hold 'em like the poker, Texas felt it
I'm no joker and your bitch right next your shoulder
I'ma love it like Mcdonald's
You go quit it like I'm in it
I'm the minister of bitches
Swervy's online and she's about to slaughter million bitches
Yeah, I live today, there's no tomorrow
나의 현재를 살아 그게 모토라서
못 돌아서 가지 여긴 2019
7년 전에 정차해 네 차는 낡은 pride지
그니까 네 feedback엔 없는 confidence
Back in 호랑이 담배 피우던 시절
얘기를 꺼내다 와 누가 뭐래도 우린 전성기
Hi-lite and dingo 깔려 멍석이
멀쩡히 잘 하고 있는 우린 왕좌에 앉을 준비가 끝났어
아웅다웅하는 게시판 의견에 침을 칵
왜 똥을 거기 싸? 화장실에 일을 봐
식은땀 줄줄 흘러
마치 분수 내 접근은 순수해
많아 보여 푼수 끼
You suck it 빨아 재껴
옛날 것만 고개 푹 숙인 넌 못 떨어 건방
다 내가 이뤘지 계약서까지
인터넷 hater의 손가락은 개얍삽하지
줏대 없는 새끼들 매한가지
Kill that shit 이거 대학살 간지
현실을 회피하는 병신들 많아
정신들 차려 씨발 현재를 살아
누가 답 내려주지 않아
절대로 난 네게 배려해주지 않아
엄지, 검지 그리고 새끼 들어봐
아니면 나쁜 쉐끼 번쩍 들어
Hi-lite sign 어이없게 잘나가
번쩍 들어 hi-lite sign
번쩍 들어 hi-lite sign
뭔 말인지 알겠냐? 가나다라마바사
Rest in peace 예전 hi-lite
자 이제 다 기억 속에 묻어
그 시절이 그리운 분들은 그냥 꾸준하게 푸념이나 읊어
걔네들의 예상을 비웃기라도 하듯 점점 커져가는 회사 규모
그러니 너희가 아무리 함부로 어그로 끌어봤자
우리에겐 그저 유머
지금은 2019년 새로운 피를 수혈
너흰 화석이 될 운명
악취를 풍겨 우린 코를 감싸 쥐고 구경
Palo 형은 선수 겸 구단주
옆에는 두 명의 젊은 유망주
나는 새로운 레전드 벌스 추가 중
그럼 넌? 그냥 우리들의 술안주
Hi-lite은 현재진행형
올해에도 계속되는 매진행렬
아이고 어떻게 지내
형? 보여줘야 되냐? 내 통장내역
팩트로 때려 볼까? 너희가 빠는 래퍼들은 악스홀에 못 가
아 이제 나도 못 가
농담이 아니라 이제 거긴 내게 너무 좁아

농담이 아니라 이제 거긴 내게 너무 좁아
It's not a joke, now that place is too small for me
