XII - The Vision

Hey!! B. Williams here. As some of you know, I've produced, performed, and done remixes on records for Vickie Winans, Jadakiss, Janet Jackson, Lin Rountree, Lalah Hathaway, Pharoahe Monch, L.J. Reynolds, Jay Electronica, Eric Roberson, Gene Dunlap and countless others.

While I have had the privilege to produce many successful songs for other artists, it’s time for me to debut my work as a Producer and Musician... to show the man behind the music, and the heart and soul that I pour into all of my productions and performances.

So... let me explain the vision a bit. I'm from Detroit. Motown!! Detroit has always been known for its great music (Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, The Temptations, Anita Baker, etc.), but it seems to me that people have forgotten that Detroit is a great city of music with some of the best musicians in the world
.

What I'm intending to do is, be a catalyst for some of those great musicians. I've built a lot of relationships with "extablised" artists, and I want my fellow musicians to reap the benefits of that. So, as an example, if I have a song with Bernard Wright (Who Do You Love) on my album, and the supporting cast behind him are musicians from Detroit, they will absolutely get recognition, because they will sound great backing up a big "name." That is my goal -- to shine light on musicians in Detroit again.

Now of course, light will shine on me because I'm the producer of the record, but this is about my musician family and less about me. While I've been in the process of recording this album, I haven't thought one time about how much money I will make from it, or how famous I could potentially become. I just want the world to know that Detroit still ranks as one of the top cities in the world when it comes to music.

I want people to hear good music again, to demand more musical and artistic arrangements from mainstream artists… will you join me?

Some of the special guests on my album include:

Matt Cusson, Anesha Birchett, Frank McComb, Robert Glasper, Quamon Fowler, Denaun Porter, Bernard Wright, Geno Young, Don Blackman, Li'l John Roberts, Gerald Veasley, Karriem Riggins, Amp Fiddler, Larry Kimpel, Choklate, Derrick Hodge, Nicholas Payton, Marcus Baylor, Jean Baylor (formerly of Zhane)... and many others!!

Sending much love, peace and positive (((energy))) to you today and everyday.

~B.
