NO, I AM NOT A "DJ" but I am addicted to music and feel VERY lucky to play and create music for a living. I am from Plainfield, NJ but grew up in Richmond, VA. Music helps keep me sane, cleanses my soul, and has allowed me to travel all over the place. I currently play and tour with my band (DJ Williams Projekt) with some of the most talented players in Richmond: Gordon Jones, Dusty Simmons, Brian Mahne, Mark Ingraham, and Todd Herrington. These guys keep me inspired and are like a family to me. I have gotten the pleasure to share the stage with such great musicians as John Legend, Karl Denson, Soulive, Dave Matthews, Michael Franti, Keller Williams, Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, Benevento/Russo Duo, Citizen Cope, Marc Broussard, Dickey Betts, and many others. I hope to be able to create music for the rest of my life and spread MY music to as many people as possible.
