If
you haven't heard of Pamela Williams, listen up --This multifaceted
beauty is one to watch! Since her
successful, ground-breaking debut album Saxtress, Pamela
Williams has toured the country, stunning her audiences with
electrifying performances. She has shared the
stage with some of the best in the business. Prior to her
first album, Pamela had been highly visible as a featured
saxophonist with Patti Labelle and Teena Marie. She has
made candid television appearances with artists such as
Babyface , Sheila E, and was featured as a guest artist on the
Arsenio Hall show. A stunning, multi-talented artist
(saxophonist, writer, producer, singer, and painter), Williams
captivates listeners with a harmonious soulful
sound. Williams creates tracks of irresistible
grooves, funky dance tracks, and sensual R&B flavored ballads.
Pamela collaborates with other hit-making producers Kim
Waters and David Mann to create urban-flavored
smoothe-jazz classics.
Hailing from Philadelphia, Williams is heavily influenced by
the city's deep musical tradition. She reflects, "I was exposed to
wonderful jazz and R&B growing up in Philadelphia. I was
definitely influenced by fellow Philadelphian, Grover Washington Jr.
Actually he was my first teacher. I used to play all of his
records and copy what he was doing and that is really how I learned
to play the saxophone. I loved his innovative blend of smooth jazz
and R&B." Pamela Williams made her recording debut,
Saxtress in 1996 which found a home on the Billboard charts
for five consecutive months. The cd also earned her a nomination for
the Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards. It also earned her the
title of Best Female Contemporary Jazz Artist of 1996. Her
follow up recordings include Eight Days of
Ecstasy , Evolution, The Perfect Love, Sweet Saxations, and
her latest release on Shanachie Records,
Elixir. With each of
Williams' cds, her singles
have always been among the top 20 best on
the charts.
Pamela has
always exhibited many diverse musical elements in her
repertoire from jazz to funk, R&B, house Latin,
and pop. She is an incredible producer and arranger who
produces other artists as well. There is another creative side to Pamela
Williams. She is not only an accomplished musician, she is also a
very accomplished visual artist, working in every medium from
pencil to watercolor to oil. Her work ranges from realism to
abstract art and she has been commissioned to do several paintings.
One wonders which came first and when has she
found the time to pursue such time -consuming and
demanding careers. "I have been a visual artist much longer
than I've been a musician. When I was a child my
first love was art but I also had a passion for
music as well . My first big break in the music industry came
when I was in college earning a degree in art and I landed a gig
with Patti LaBelle. I was at a crossroads, but I found a way to make
them both work." In a field dominated by by men, Pamela
Williams' name appears alongside chart-topping players
like Dave Koz, Kenny G, Najee, and Boney James. She has no
doubt found her own voice and proven that she can hang with the
best of the boys.
Pamela has
recently released a new cd in June of 2007 entitled "The Look of
Love". This is Pamela's seventh cd. This project is a collection of
covers of the magical music of Burt Bacharach, Dionne Warwick, &
Hal David. Pamela has proven again to be one of the most
creative arrangers and producers around. She puts a new twist
on ten classical Burt Bacharach compositions to make them her own
with a modern, funky, and sensual style. It has been said that
artists often get better with time like a fine wine and Pamela
Williams' new release is musically intoxicating and tastefully done.
There is much more to come from the sexy
