About Zach Williams
Zach Williams comes from Georgia. He was a late bloomer as songwriters go and didn’t perform his first song publicly till near the end of college. The music and Zach have been growing ever since. Zach currently resides with his wife Stacy in Brooklyn and would tell you that his music represents the communities he has had the privilege to pass through, experience, and the ones he is still holding on to.
What is your current state of being?
Right now I’m kind of battling with my identity. Am I a good musician? Do I have to care what other people think? Or am I just okay as an individual? Basically, do I bite the bullet and do what people want to hear or do I bite the bullet and come closer and closer to things that bring me feeling and pain and write songs out of that? That’s where I am right now.
What was the last thing to blast your senses?
The 1958 Fender amp I just bought. It only has volume, not even an on button. It’s insane. It wakes up something inside you.
What do you consider your own personal glory?
I think if I can write a song that I really believe in so much so that when I’m singing it I’m not worried about what’s happening in the room or what people are thinking about when they hear it, then I get to be a part of something bigger than myself, for a few minutes. It’s a hard question but that’s what I’d consider my own personal glory.
How would you like to change the world?
I’m a proximity guy. I feel like it’s really easy to think about changing the world far away, but there’s so much to be done nearby. Something I’ve been really involved in lately is being a mentor to fatherless kids. Also, we’re making a record now and all the proceeds will go to this organization called Restore which works with women formerly enslaved in sex trafficking. It’s crazy what these women have been through, and I want to keep making music that sheds light on these kind of redemptive stories.
