Michael Williams has without a doubt one of the finest voices on the contemporary music scene - his incredibly distinctive velvet vocals applied to an emotive and unique soulful rock sound.

Alongside his position as the lead singer of one of the biggest selling groups of all time, The Drifters (214 million single sales/114 million album sales worldwide), Michael is also embarking on his solo career with his second album due for release next month.

His first solo album, released earlier in 2011, entitled Find Your Wings, recorded in collaboration with US vocalist Kellie Schreiber included popular classics ‘Beautiful’, ‘Every Time I Look At You,’ ‘Wasted Time and many more in duet with Kellie.

Currently touring with The Drifters on the groups world ‘Icons Tour’, Michael will be hosting and appearing in his own show in the UK in 2012, alongside his schedule with The Drifters. The show, entitled ‘Heart To Heart: An Evening of Classic Love songs’ features Michael with special guests Kellie Schreiber, Neil Couperthwaite and Diana Nash, backed by world class musicians.

 

“Take the extraordinary vocal talents of world class artists like Luther Vandross, Michael MacDonald, Michael Bolton and Paul Carrack and add a unique twist of Michael William’s soul and charisma - you have one of the leading solo artists of the current time – he genuinely is that good!
