William Valdés's Journey

Early Life and Acting Beginnings

William Valdés started his journey in entertainment very young. When he was just 5 years old, he went to the National Circus school in Havana. A few years later, at age 9, his family moved to Miami, Florida.

As a teenager, William studied acting. He then got a role in the first season of the TV show Grachi. In this show, he played a character named Sibilo "Ora" Santisteban.

Music Career and Boy Band CD9

William left the group in October of that year. He said it was for "personal reasons." Bryan Mouque then took his place in the band. In 2016, William explained why he left.
