Russ Williams’ passion for singing began at the age of 5 while being raised in a home full of musicians and singers in Southern California.  As a soloist, his graceful, lyric vocals have been featured at prestigious venues including The Metropolitan Opera of New York, The Hollywood Bowl, and The Cincinnati Pops Music Hall.  Moving well beyond his California roots, Russ has performed in 46 states across the country in various national tours and concerts. When he’s not performing on stage, Russ has found time to record with renowned artists such as Jennifer Holiday, Maureen McGovern, Lou Rawls, Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops.  His voice has been on multiple studio recordings, commercials for radio and television, and feature films. Russ studied Vocal Performance and Music Education at Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, CA and currently resides in New York, NY.
