Hart grew up in Ruston, Louisiana, with Bill Doss, Jeff Mangum and Robert Schneider.
Following that band"s breakup, Hart and several other former members regrouped to create Circulatory System. Doss and Hart (and, early on, Mangum) combined their musical efforts in The Olivia Tremor Control. Hart and Doss blended their differing musical inclinations for the band: Hart being known as the sonic experimenter, Doss the proponent of popular.
This difference is evidently clear in the music produced by each since the end of the Olivia Tremor Control.
Hart"s Circulatory System maintains an interest in experimentation, while Doss" Sunshine Fix focused on more traditionally structured Beatlesque popular. Will Cullen Hart is also a visual artist.
He has created most, if not all of the artwork for the Olivia Tremor Control and Circulatory System (among other Elephant 6 bands), as well as individual pieces. In a 2008 online interview with John Fernandes, it was revealed that Hart has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
