Episode 8: William DuVall (Alice In Chains)

A singer who paved the way for the Atlanta hardcore scene when he was a teen, William DuVall ascended to becoming the frontman for Seattle hard rock icons Alice In Chains and the side project Giraffe Tongue Orchestra. Beyond music, he enjoys reading biographies and books about history, a subject for which he has a great interest. I spoke with William in a conference room at the offices of Cheddar TV in New York City. He also revealed the story of how he escaped the failing public school system in Atlanta to attend a private institution that took him on free of charge because of his strong desire to go there.
