Drue Williams

This profile was made using the FreeDiskSpace Profile Editor!Drue Williams was born in Cleveland Ohio. At the age of 9 Drue began playing the bass guitar by hanging around his father’s gospel quartet group named the “Ohio Silvertones”. Drue’s father would occasionally let him play 1 or 2 songs on small church programs. Drue continued to pursue his love for the bass guitar and by age 11 he became the Ohio Silvertones fulltime bass guitar player. Drue’s musical career took a major jump when one of his friends introduced him to the music of bassist Stanley Clarke. Drue admired Stanley’s music and began studying it day and night. He also began studying other great bass players such as Joco Pastorios, Larry Graham and others. Drue eventually began to play jazz, fusion, funk R&B, etc. Drue soon became one of Cleveland’s most exciting bass players. He later left Cleveland and moved to Maryland and began to play in church. It didn’t take long for the word to get around of Drue’s inspiring bass playing. After playing with many gospel groups and choirs, Drue began to work on a solo CD which featured his great gift of playing grooves and solo melodies. His son Isaiah was only 4 at this time but he was playing drums at a level unheard of for a 4 year old. Drue never finished his solo project; instead he turned all of his attention to the development on his son. Drue would spend the next 7 years successfully promoting, managing, and touring with the Isaiah Williams Project. The Isaiah Williams Project has performed around the country including several performances at the summer NAMM and winter NAMM shows. The band also has Victor Wooten, Roy (Futureman) Wooten and Jeff Coffin on there debut CD. Drue also severed five years as the Minister of Music for the Providence St. John Baptist Church in Alexandria, VA. Recently Drue relocated to Abbeville, SC where he continues to pursue his musical career.
