ALL ABOUT ME

An immensely talented vocalist who can sing Classic Soul ballads as well as legitimate Broadway tunes with the greatest of ease. As the daughter of Jazz trumpeter and bandleader Bobby Booker, Alyson is legitimately rooted in Jazz and firmly embraces the Blues. She realized major success with her smash hit single (“Just Call My Name”) from her debut album “Raw” which spent an amazing 67 weeks on the Billboard charts and was only matched in popularity by Madonna's album “Like A Prayer”

As a vibrant and unpredictable performer Alyson Williams has also appeared in several stage plays which include the 25th anniversary of the “Wiz” and “My Brother Marvin” The Marvin Gaye Story. Her Broadway appearances include the 2002 revival of “One Mo’ Time” and “Rollin On The Toba”. She received one of the greatest thrills of a life time when she was asked to star in a role that portrayed one of her musical mentors, R&B/Jazz legend Phyllis Hyman in the play “Thank God the Beat Goes On.” starring the legendary Whispers. Alyson is also currently performing a tribute to Ms Hyman in her ever popular night club act.
This Renaissance woman and well rounded artist is not only a phenomenal singer and actress but she triumphs as a stand-up comedian who landed a gig at one of the country's most renowned comedy clubs “Caroline's”. Alyson's quest has taken her all over the world from the Broadway stage to the royal palaces of Morocco, it has been a star studded trip and a very exciting journey that has only just begun.

THANKS FOR THE LOVE!!!!!

Thanks so very much to everyone that came out to the Iridium over this past weekend to see the Alyson Williams Experience -After Midnight show.

The Friday and Saturday night performances were magical. God is good always and in all ways. My bands on both nights were superb.

Friday nights ensemble featured Tony Stevenson on electric bass,Aaron Swinn on piano and Ezrah Henry on drums.Saturday nights line up featured a fabulous group of musicians that included Ms.Kathy Farmer on piano,Paul Beaudry on upright bass and Kahlil Kwame Bell on drums. The energy was electric and I can't wait until the next gig.

Also on this past weekend, I had the pleasure and the honor of appearing as a guest vocalist with T.S. Monk on the 3rd Annual Lincoln Park Music Festival in Newark N.J.
Yet another magical mix of memories that have turned into wonderful memories.Other notable musicians and musical legends in attendance were the great James Mood,Cyress Chestnut,Slide Hampton,Patience Higgins,Elisabeth Withers,Iniyah Day and The Clark Sisters.

Welcome To My World

Hi everybody!
I know it's been a few days since my first entry.
I am currently on the road in Tortola British Virgin Islands. I was invited to judge the 38Th annual Hal Jacksons Talented Teens International Pageant.I am a former talented teen myself. My banner year was 1977 WOOOAAAHH!!!! That seems like a lifetime ago.But what an honor to be asked back to participate and what a pleasure to work with these wonderful young ladies. I'm enjoying the tropical paradise surroundings as well. I'm looking forward to incorporating the Talented Teens with my non- profit organization Alys' Way in some form or fashion in the future.It is pure joy to see these young women walking like ladies,talking like ladies,acting like ladies,holding their heads up proudly and with integrity. They are the DIT'S of today.What you ask is a DIT? A DIT is a Diva In Training and these young talented teens are the Divas In Training to become the phenomenal women of tomorrow!!! You go girls!!!!
I'm off to lay under God's glorious sun.
Love Peace Blessings Miracles and Music
Alyson
