Will Blunderfield (born July 18, 1985) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and teacher of yoga. He signed with Nettwerk Records/Sony Music (WMG) with music released through Spirit Voyage Records. Blunderfield's music is influenced by its roots in the musical theater scene in New York City and by the hymn & amp; the first spell he knew as a boy in the British Columbia Boys Choir. He is an ambassador for lululemon athletica, Vega, and Manduka Yoga Mats. Xtra identified Blunderfield as a diversity and social equity activist in schools. In 2012, Blunderfield achieved major fame in Japan where he has toured extensively and where Long Time Sun, the first single from an international version of his album became a radio hit.

His original plan was to pursue a career on Broadway, but he soon changed his mind and decided to pursue music and yoga, a discipline he introduced at school and, in his opinion, had the potential to change the world.
