A.A. Williams

Describing her music (tongue in cheek) as "death gospel," A.A. Williams writes and performs dark and deeply atmospheric songs with a richly textured voice, matched by her impressive instrumental abilities on guitar, piano, and cello. A classically trained musician with a taste for "all things heavy," she encompasses post-rock, folk, goth, metal, and classical influences in her music. Her style was introduced on her self-titled debut EP in 2019, and she expanded her boundaries with her first full-length effort, Forever Blue, which followed in 2020. 2021's Songs from Isolation was a set of covers dramatically reworked in her signature style, and arco presented string arrangements of selections from her debut EP. 2022's As the Moon Rests saw her expanding on her use of orchestration, and 2026's Solstice was an artfully powerful exploration of the strength of dynamics.
