About Will and Seeka
Will et Seeka — of Will’s Jams and Seeka Sings — are nationally recognized musicians and educators who both have a passion for music, languages, and childhood education. Their shared understanding of the power of music in teaching languages brought these two songwriters and parents together during the pandemic to create fun, unique, and relevant musical resources to support French and English language learning. Born into families of educators and musicians, music has been instrumental in helping both artists become fluent in French as their second language.
Will & Seeka’s debut albums Will et Seeka: Amis avec tout le monde” and “Will and Seeka: Friends with Everyone" have earned them multiple accolades, including nominations for the 2025 CFMA Children’s Album of the Year and the 2023 WCMA Children’s Artist of the Year.
Notable performances include the Richmond Children’s Art Festival, Vancouver International Children’s Festival, Festival du bois, International Children’s Festival of Saskatchewan and district wide tours in Richmond, Coquitlam and Burnaby French immersion schools.

Will and Seeka are both outstanding musicians who engaged our young audiences through their uplifting and energetic songs encouraging folks to connect with the music with interactive components to the show.
