Mike Williams
Welcome to the Music of Mike Williams!
Mike Williams is a musician/songwriter based in Raleigh, NC. His influences include the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Klaatu, and many of the old blues artists. He has produced original music since the late 1970s. Mike actively promoted his music in the 1980s in an effort to secure a recording or publishing deal. In the 1990s, after becoming disenchanted with the formulaic approach record labels were insisting on, he and his brother wrote and recorded original music at their 4-track home studio.
In late 2011, Mike decided to write, record and produce his debut album Leaving Dystopia which was released in February 2013 and remastered in December 2022. The remastered album can be streamed and purchased on Bandcamp. Leaving Dystopia continues to be widely listened to across the world.
In 2018, Mike released his follow-up album, Hollow Moon which contains 8 original songs including the popular single, Black Sheep. Hollow Moon was remixed and remastered in November 2023.
In May 2023, Mike released his third album No More Gods, consisting of 10 original tracks. No More Gods can be purchased on Bandcamp.
Mike's 2024 music project involves re-recording unreleased demos that he wrote and recorded with his brother in the 1980s. The plan is to release the songs as a new album by late 2025.
You can listen to all of Mike's music on Soundcloud, Reverbnation, SoundClick, YouTube, Mixcloud, and all major streaming sites. All of Mike's music can be purchased at Bandcamp and Reverbnation.
Mike's unique style coupled with his fusion of influences shines through in his refreshing and relevant collection of songs which he hopes will help awaken your inner spirit. Enjoy!
