Jackie D Williams (Oxford, England) "Music is something that we are never pushed into, we simply discover; and grow with it. It’s the one thing that holds us together but yet makes us so different” Jackie D Williams is living proof of this. His distinctive fusion of soul, funk, rhythm and blues combined with phenomenal guitar playing is helping him receive the recognition his talent truly deserves. Jackie’s music consists of many brilliant characteristics exemplified by his childhood musical idols, combining song writing with jazz and blues like the great Stevie Wonder did before him. These characteristics have seen him likened to distinguished artists like such as Smokey Robinson and even Eric Clapton. At only 20 years old, Jackie is already a seasoned performer recently headlining the Juice Fm stage at the Liverpool Hub Festival, the UK's biggest, and best, urban and extreme sports youth festival. He has also opened the Wallingford Blues and Beer Festival, supporting the infamous band “The Animals”, giving him the chance to perform to a crowd of over one thousand, a feat Jackie is intent of bettering. At the tender age of 16, Jackie’s performing ability gained him the opportunity to work with producer Mike Hurst through the summer project Rock Masters. During this experience, Jackie was fortunate enough to perform in front of music sensation Cat Stevens, one of Jackie’s and many other’s most admired musical inspirations. Oxford born Singer/Songwriter Jackie at present is a student at the prestigious Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. Jackie released his official debut EP "Unite With Me" on the 21st of January 2013.
