Wil Seabrook released his self-titled debut album in August, 2000.[1] Its first single "You Do What You Have To" was named Record of the Week by BBC Radio 2. After his band, The Wil Seabrook Band, toured with Dave Matthews Band, Sister Hazel and Dishwalla, he ventured out again as a solo artist and released New EP in 2005.[2]

Also in 2005, Wil appeared in the first season of

Heroes and Right Here, Right Now. After his performance of Right Here Right Now was ranked in the bottom three, Seabrook became the second contestant to be eliminated from the show (July 13, 2005). For his elimination performance, Seabrook sang Need You Tonight
.

Wil then signed with Mercy Records and began to record his second studio album One Dozen Summers in November 2006. Shortly thereafter, in January 2007, he toured to promote the album in anticipation of its release on August 14, 2007.

In early 2009, Wil was commissioned to write a song for The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation titled "Tomorrow Will Come".[4] Lior Goldenberg produced and mixed the track. All proceeds from the sale of the track go directly to the Foundation. That same year, Wil signed on with ATN Management and performed the song "Inside" in the movie The six wives of Henrey Lefay.

Some are directly affiliated, like the Citizens' Commission on Human Rights, an anti-psychiatry group, and Author Services, which represents Mr. Hubbard's books and hires actors like Roddy McDowall and Bruce Boxleitner to read the Scientology founder's books on tape. Others have Scientologists on staff and use church methods.
