Detroit bred Brandon Williams' life has always included music in some capacity, first as a listener, then as a musician, and ultimately as a producer. The aptly named Brandon "B." Williams - The Music Architect, is quickly making his name and stake as a front-runner in the music industry.

His career is astonishing, a direct protégé of Grammy and Billboard super producer Michael J. Powell, B. Williams is a powerhouse of musical knowledge and ability. His talents include production, arranging, engineering, and playing over 15 instruments, and in 2009 he was nominated for 9 Stellar Awards and a Grammy Award and in 2010, he was nominated for a NAACP Image Award.

On the music scene since he was 13 starting at Baker's Keyboard Lounge, B. is known as a prodigy and for being the go-to-guy for the Detroit music industry. He gets request to perform, engineer, MD, arrange and produce around the clock.

As a producer, B. has lent his hand to such artists as Yolanda Adams, Janet Jackson, Pharoahe Monch, Bobby Creekwater, Vickie Winans, Jadakiss, Lin Rountree, J Dilla, Gene Dunlap, and Motown own "Young Dynasty Entertainment. 30 year old B.

If nothing else you can bet your paycheck that he is much more than your average musician and he will continue to move full steam ahead. . Bottomline...stay tuned because he has the blueprint for success. In his own words… I want people to know I'm a real producer and not just a beatmaker…a producer plays all the parts in the studio. If the guitar player isn't getting it, you must show him, the piano player not getting the correct feel, sit down to the piano and show him. You must know how to do it all. I also want people to know that i want to bring good music back to the world, feel good music is what I'm about.

NOTE: Not all mixes have a playlist. If you want the playlist or want to know what any of the songs are - message me directly and I'll be more than happy to share it with you

A fellow musiq lovah hailing from London, England, though born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. 

I'm a soulful man, but am into all types of music - hip hop (particularly old skool - I grew up in the 80's / 90's), soul, 80's, soulful house, neo soul, Rare Grooves, Slow Jams, Bashment... Hip Hop was most definitely my first love but I've mellowed over the years    ;-) 

I particularly collect and love the mellow stuff - Neo Soul, Rare Grooves and my beloved Slow Jams. 
This is reflected in MOST of my mixes but not all. I hope you enjoy them regardless. 
If you like what you hear - feel free to leave a message. I'd appreciate it. 

Musiq is for the sharing...

The Tina Marie Experience also makes different art, sometimes. He has a facebook, yknow, so go like him or something you asshats.
