William Marshall was born in Chester in 1992. He achieved early success as a composer while still at school, winning the BBC Proms Young Composers’ Competition in 2010. In 2014 he took a First in Music at Worcester College, Oxford, having studied composition with Robert Saxton. He subsequently won both a Radcliffe Trust Scholarship and a Countess of Munster Trust Award to attend the Royal Northern College of Music, where he studied composition with Gary Carpenter and Adam Gorb and gained the MMus degree with Distinction in 2016. William currently holds an AHRC Studentship at Oxford, where his doctoral work in composition is supervised by Robert Saxton.

Performers of William’s music have included Ensemble 10/10 (whose performances of his work have been broadcast on BBC Radio 3), the BBC Singers, the Aurora Orchestra, and the Hebrides Ensemble. A recent work for recorder and piano, 'Little Passacaglia', has been recorded by John Turner and Peter Lawson on the Divine Art label.
