About Oscar Williams & the Band of Life:
Oscar Williams and the Band of Life was formed in 2000 as a Gospel singing group and has since expanded to other genres. This groundbreaking group started traveling nationally upon the release of their freshman CD entitled, “Unstoppable.” The CD was well received and even charted on the top 40 Billboard Gospel chart. Soon after, Oscar began his international travel with a tour through Germany, Switzerland and Italy. To date, Oscar and his band have participated in several high profile performances including: Vatican Christmas Celebration for Pope John Paul II, (Rome 2001 – 2002), touring background singers for European popstar Elisa, and Christmas tours in the Czech Republic, Austria and France. In 2010, Oscar was chosen out of over 100 applicants, as a Rhythm Road: Music Abroad artist and named an Ambassador of Music for the United States of America.
