A gospel singer born and raised in Houston, TX, veteran recording artist Beau Williams has several albums to his credit, along with a number of background vocal appearances. Having grown up in a musical and religious family -- his father was a pastor, his mother was a choir leader, and his seven siblings choir members -- one of Williams' earliest realizations of his skills came after winning a talent competition at the age of ten.
Williams eventually relocated to Los Angeles in search of stardom and was discovered by George Benson, who helped him land a recording contract with Capitol. He competed on Star Search shortly after the release of his first record and dethroned a longtime champion. After his third Capitol release, Williams signed with Light and returned to his roots in gospel.
