Antony “Tony” Williams has become one of the most heard voices in today’s musical landscape. He’s written, sung and performed with Jay Z, nAs, the Game, Rick Ross, and most notably, his first cousin Kanye West. He’s been by West’s side at the recording console from inception to end for every one of his solo albums as a vocalist, writer and/or arranger. Williams has toured internationally with West on every major tour, and has been a part of G.o.o.D music since 2004.

In 2012, Williams’ debut album, “King or the Fool - An Opera: Volume i,” marked his official introduction as a solo artist. Vol. i is packed with all star features including vocals from John Legend, Raheem DeVaughn, and Stokley Williams from mint condition; as well as production from no i.d., Bink!, hit boy and Kanye West. “Another You,” featuring West, debuted online and on radio outlets in several markets.

Williams is nearing the release of “To Gain the World: King or the Fool, Vol. ii,” which he recorded while helping West to create “The Life of Pablo.” He is credited as a writer for the song,“Waves,” featuring Kid Cudi and Chris Brown.

Vol. ii is “the essence of pure soul,” in his words, which “encompasses the blues, funk, rock-and-roll, jazz and gospel. All of those genres grew from soul.” A selfless soul innovator, he promises consistency while still aiming to reinvent himself with every record.

He’s enlisted powerhouse vocalist marsha ambrosius of Floetry as a feature on three songs on Vol. ii, as well as saxophonist Keith Anderson, a former arranger and lead horn player for Prince.

Williams is currently rehearsing his band in preparation for summer and fall shows. He is also anticipating playing an important part in Kanye West’s upcoming project, “Turbografx16,” as well as West’s “Saint Pablo” tour this fall.

To Gain the World: King or the Fool, Vol. ii is slated to be released late 2016.
