About Bill Wiczen

Bills musical career began very early in life. At the age of 3 he made his way to the stage at a Christmas Party and sang Jingle Bells. At around age 10 his mom got a piano and they spent many evenings singing and playing. Songs then consisted of christian songs that were popular. One of the greatest things his mom taught him during these times around the piano, was to harmonize with her.



The last 2 years of high school, Bill sang with a quartet called 'The Gospel Heirs'. This group was a very popular group and sang almost every weekend.



After high school, Bill enlisted in the United States Navy where he was selected to sing in the coveted Blue Jacket Choir. He spent 6 years as a Petty Officer working as a Cryptologic Technician Operations, being stationed in Pensacola FL, Honolulu, HI and AdakAlaska.



Bill spent the next years singing as both a Soloist and with several groups along the way.



Bill joined the Gospel Echoes out of Akron Oh in 2006. This was a very popular regional group that kept very busy. Hearing problems got the best of him and he left the group in 2009.

​

As his hearing got worse he went to a world renowned hearing specialist. They fitted him with a BAHA hearing aid which began to help a lot. Then things took a turn for the worst. He was very ill for almost 6 years, almost dying 3 times. His Testimony about what God has done for Him through the years is an integral part of his Ministry.



Now in better health and spirits, Bill is performing as a soloist, testifying about God's great grace and singing songs to praise the Lord, along with his unique style, smooth baritone voice, and genre of songs – mostly well-known older songs and hymns – will have audiences clapping their hands, tapping their toes and singing and praising right along with him!!



Bill’s wife, of seven years, Patti Wiczen, is an integral part of his ministry and will help him sing from time to time. As Bill would say, “behind every good man is a GREAT woman!”


What lies ahead for Bill Wiczen? His future rests securely in God’s hands. But one thing is for sure. Wherever Bill goes, and whatever Bill does, he will be giving his heart and soul to the people God loves, for the love of Jesus. That’s the way it was, the way it is, and the way it always will be.
