Three Faces of Man

About Me

..
Singer/songwriter Damon Williams is setting out on his own personal musical journey with a bold solo project entitled, "Three Faces of Man". Williams' voice is both lyrically and vocally one of many colors as he incorporates elements from R&B, pop, alternative and neo-soul into a unique sound that defies standard labeling."You've found the tune, not the song," Willams poignantly sings on the single, "Something U Told Me". He hopes listeners will come "face to faces" with his multi-faceted perspective. He calls his new project a "musical documentary"-- one man's coming to terms with the animal, human and spiritual elements of his nature.Unafraid to peel back the masks of his own illusions, Williams explores themes of love and lust, truth and deception, faith and doubt. "Three Faces of Man" is a self-revealing look into the inward nature and true substance of human life. Through hearfelt lyrics and his distinctive vocal style, Damon Williams takes the listener on his inward trip toward self-awareness: "I cannot budge/I've learned to judge/and these decisions imprison me," he signs on "Is It Easier Dying".Damon Williams was born in Nashville, Tennessee where music played a part in his life from early on. He developed his professional career as a vocalist performing in the Bay Area nightclubs, festivals, as well as corporate and private events as a member of the R&B vocal trio, Infinity and as one of the Temptations in B. Edwards' Motown Revue.In 2003, Williams became the front man for Northern Cailfornia's Urban Bushmen. A high energy, crowd pleasing act, known locally as "The Soul of Vallejo", the Bushmen were a perfect band for Damon Williams' engaging performance style.Williams smooth vocals have earned him respect as a hard-working session artist; his full range and harmonizing skills can also be heard on various CDs released by Bay Area artists.
