   About Jimmy Williams
Jimmy Williams began playing guitar at the age of 13. His formal years began with lessons from his father, who began showing Jimmy various licks and barre chords. It wasn't long before he discovered Eddie Van Halen and performed "Eruption" in his high school talent show during his sophomore year. A few years later Jimmy happened upon a new discovery, a young Swedish virtuoso by the name of Yngwie J. Malmsteen. In 1994 Jimmy was selected to be featured in Guitar Magazine's "Resume Column" and moved from St. Louis to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music.

In 2000 Jimmy answered the call and joined Nuclear Blast Records Recording Artists Steel Prophet. In 2001 the band released the highly acclaimed albums "Book of the Dead" and "Unseen" and completed full tours of America and Europe. In 2003 "Guitar Concepts" a compilation of 10 demo songs was released by Progressive Arts Music. In 2004, vocal metal project Vindikation recorded "Chamber of Discontent". This project was recorded and produced by keyboard wizard Erik Norlander and featured Jason McCrarey - vocals (Sanctus), Jim Williams - guitar & bass (ex-Steel Prophet), Rob Rampley - keyboards/FX (Winds Died Down) and Karl Rosqvist - drums (The Chelsea Smiles, ex-Steel Prophet). In 2007 he released his second instrumental guitar CD "Sonic Divergence" an intense journey through the many facets and styles of progressive metal. Later in 2007 Jimmy recorded acoustic and lead guitar for a few tracks on the Rocket Scientists CD "Looking Backward" and in 2008 joined the band for a number of shows in Mexico, the USA and Europe. Jimmy is currently playing with the Rocket Scientists and just completed his third CD "Acquiescence" a 12 song solo acoustic work.

hey!
we are trying to change something...
our new singer erik can't be a full member of dreamscape because the stess to travel a lot is affecting his health.
so we decided to work with more than one singer - honestly we will work with even more than two...
hopefully you will like that idea! we like it a lot because we will be very flexible and our sound will become even more complex!
kind regards!

PS: always believe in your dreams! and don't get frightened if they are becoming real! - because for a believer they will!
