About Me

Mr. Courtney “C-Will” Williams has proven that you can reach audiences of all ages by his music which he calls “Nu-Jazz, Pop-Hop Soul”. C-Will will be doing a world tour in the year of 2007-2008 and he looks forward to seeing you in his audience. Tell him where you saw him or information on him and tell him how you feel about his newest 4th album cd entitled “Frustrated” which is a mixture of Straight Ahead swing, Soul, Modern Jazz, Hip-Pop, and Funk. C-Will loves to have every show that his audience see's to be different. When it comes to playing drums, singing and leading a band, this Nu-Jazz music artist proves that he can do this as well as make the audience feel like they are just part of the performance by getting them involved. This young talent has a very specific background of touring with only Major top Acts in the music category of Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop, Fusion, Jazz, Marenque, Salsa, Soca, Funk and Blues Music. His first recording was playing drums on professional mass choir recording when he was 7 years old. By the time he was 12 years old, he was already on his first tour to Japan with Def Jams Artist under Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons. Playing for Major Jazz Artist as Kenny Garett, Lesette Wilson, and many others, his teenage and 20's years was devoted to playing drums, background singing and percussion improvising for a plethra of a variety of major groups and single artist until he knew more about the music business itself. Starting his own record label in 2001, C-Will quickly now has a small catalouge of 5 Album CD's all with the same style of music. ”It's important to me to uplift the human spirit through music and to make people understand that it's o.k. to smile, dance and be happy while your listening to the historical music of my ancestors called “Jazz”, yeah, you should feel good when this music hits you, because it's ever evolving and changing just like life and just like life we must understand it's change and embrace it, not be afraid of something that evolved into a new thing, because Jazz is what you feel and how you feel, we all have it in us, yeah that's right, we all have it in us, ........so embrace it, you will only be embrassing yourself, hahahaaaahahah”
