William Forest in his early days, in 1987, was a Hip-hop DJ / Producer. Influenced by artists like Public Enemy, Run DMC, De La Soul, Third Bass, DJ Cash Money, Q-Tip, or the DEF JAM Recordings label. Practicing scratch and turntablism techniques, it was at this time that he acquired his first instrument, an Akai S1000KB sampler. he quickly joined a local hip-hop band, which subsequently made, among other things, warm up gigs (for IAM or MC Solar at the Rouen exhibition center).

In 1992, a first turning point came when he met Éric Hauville, CEO of RVS, creator of the Radio station Maxximum and of the French label Pschent Recordings, he then became a producer for the station, and the DJ of the RVS Hot-mix (2 X 5H of live mixes per week). For more than 4 years, he was passionate about new music, and trained in the first independent radio in France in advanced production techniques on tape, sampler and computer. He participated in Ricard SA live music line ups (Le Havre, Rouen), with mixes for RVS events organised by Mickael Bourgeois (Director of the RVS and Maxximum programs), and also in Parisian events organised by Martine Meyer a stone's throw from the Champs -Elysées.

At the end of 1997, he met Antoine Baduel who, with the late Didier Sinclair and Henry Maurel, were at the head of Radio FG. He joined the production team and supported the development of Radio FG, from a legendary frequency in Paris, to an international network. There he developed and cultivated a passion for modern production techniques, as well as electronic music and labels, often independent, in tune with their time. Since 2014, he is the author of the "Enormous Tunes" mixes (Deep / Indie dance) broadcasted on Radio FG, which mainly showcase the new Swiss scene (Helvetic Nerds).
