About Me

Being born January 26th and raised in a little town in what is considered "Upstate New York" did not keep her from exploring the vast world of possibilities concerning music. Destined to achieve, at the young age of two, she began tinkering on the keys of the family organ. Church was the starting point in the development of her musical gifts. Singing solos in the youth choir was just the beginning of the musical genius that dwells within her. She has an unquenchable thirst for music from the rhythms to the harmonies, to the true soul stirring powers it possesses.

Music has always been her life and love, every aspect of it. Any and everything she can get her hands on, she is determined to learn. She is a true "Jacqueline of ALL Trades". She is a Singer/Songwriter, Producer, Vocal Arranger, as well as a proficient Musician, playing Bass, Drums, and Keys, just to mention a few. Most important of all is the humility that precedes her. Despite the incredible gifts and talents she possesses, she always remains humble. "To God Be The Glory" is her theme.

After receiving a Degree in Communications and Media Arts working in Video Production and Editing, she was blessed with the opportunity to attend the world renowned Berklee College of Music. Having such rich seasoned vocal abilities opened up many opportunities for her including performances with such artists as Frank McComb, Lynette Hawkins-Stevens, Dawkins & Dawkins, Brenda Russell, and many others. As a member of a vocal group called "Blessed", she was able to express her arranging abilities. Her exceptional ear and intricate harmony arranging abilities afforded the group with the opportunity to open for the award winning Gospel group Take 6 as well as showcase her jazzy arranging style in a Tribute to award winning Jazz/R&B artist Diane Reeves.

She is now working on her solo album, a rich mix of influences of Gospel, Jazz, Fusion, and every other genre of music that has made her the true "Musical Flower" that she is.

"God has everything and everything belongs to Him! Therefore I give all that I have and all that I am, back to God that He may be Glorified and that His people may be Blessed!" -Yvonne D. Williams in all sincerity.
