Phoenix Williams

Born in Blackpool, Lancs, Phoenix was born in to music inspired by her grandfather, pianist and composer, Harry Williams who played with various musicians on the Blackpool entertainment club circuit in the 1940-60s. At the age of 3, Phoenix was given her first guitar and by the age of 10 was encouraged by the familys' organ teacher, Bill Pinnock, to begin organ lessons as he said she "had a natural ear for sound" By the age of 19, Phoenix took the guitar seriously and decided that she would focus her life to learning everything she could about songwriting and music composition... Phoenix Williams' first solo acoustic gigs in Blackpool West Coast Rock Cafe, The Broadwalk and The Galleon. To be closer to the real music scene in London, Phoenix was drawn from one seaside to another, Brighton. This proved to being a brave step closer to her real uncovering and establishment of working with music industry professionals. Collaborations with: Robert White aka The Milk and Honey Band and Nick Swannell @ Rockfish Music....................................................... ........

Tanya Casotti from UV Magazine, who remembered Phoenix from a demo review earlier in the year. Invited Phoenix to send in a track, which consequently was reviewed and included on a covermount cd for the UV September Issue....................................................... ................ "A good airy vocal performance over a lazy laid back acoustic and shuffling drums makes for a breath of fresh air and there is nothing better than a simple song sung well. This acoustic based demo is better than a lot of masters that I hear coming out of record labels these days which is testament to who ever produced it, who obviously knows their way around a mixing console. Music like this should be signed, played and applauded. Well done. Record labels put her on your to call list now" Seven Webster..................................................... .......

Recent Ep Review...................................................... ........If your looking for the perfect backdrop to a relaxing evening, a theme tune for the sun setting... and then the sunrise or just some blissful chilled music for an afternoon with friends then you had better stop right there. Beautiful Brighton based talent Phoenix Williams, with her sugar sweet vocals and mellow guitar style, may just be able to deliver all four with just one EP. Her overall sound, somewhat familar bears a slight resemblance and somewhat eclectic cross between Christian vocalist Jacqui Velasquez, Delta Goodram and Daniel Powter (the guy who 'had a bad day'). Nevertheless she sings with a heartfelt passion that can't help but draw you in. Track 2 'Lover let go' wouldn't be out of place if it were included in a film soundtrack as part of an emotional scene, and track 3 'Permanently in my heart' actually was featured in 2003 film 'Lena-The bride of ice'. More recently her music has been showcased in the media on both the radio and through magazines, and it is easy to see why. Great voice, great acoustics, great emotion: great artist...By Sarah Morris......................................................
