Will Moreau is among the new "crossover" artists, mixing the contemporary favorites, with standards, showtunes, Native American contemporary, ancient chanting/fusion, golden oldies and the classical aria. Such crossover artists, as they are often tagged, have a long line of predecessors, dating back to the operatic tenor Enrico Caruso, who nearly a century ago made his first recording. The mixing of different artistic styles and genres is often taken as a sign of vitality. Will Moreau belongs the new generation of singers, like Russell Watson, Charlotte Church, and others that are trying to reach out to people and  making other forms of music accessible to people who might otherwise be unfamiliar with these genres.
