Early life Wills was born in Edmonton, Alberta to teenage parents, and was put up for adoption when he was 18 months old. He was soon adopted and raised by a family from Calgary, Alberta. Wills grew up with his adoptive parents and their biological daughter in Oakridge, a southwest Calgary community. Although Wills had an interest in music during his childhood and teenage years, his adoptive family wasn't musical, so he spent more time focusing on athletics like skateboarding and hockey.

Wills began to get into music while on a backpacking trip through Australia in the late 1990s. Wills accepted the bet, sang "The Dance" by Garth Brooks, and received an overwhelmingly positive reaction from the crowd. Wills then decided that he wanted to begin to focus on music, and learned to play guitar while still in Australia. When Wills was 20 years old, he met his birth parents and his five biological siblings, and found that there was a big musical streak in his birth family. While in Nashville, Wills began working with producers Mike Pyle and Walt Aldrige, who helped him develop his craft. The singles "Won't You Be Mine" and "Down by the River" climbed to the No. 9 spots on the Billboard Canada Country Chart, and his current single "Tougher Than Love" peaked at No. 11. To this day, along with his stage name Bobby Wills, he is known as Robert Blough. He works at Honda West as their General Sales Manager He is the founder of the country music label Willing Records, distributed by Universal Music Canada.
