With limitless energy, a rock star stage presence and his trademark mane of jet black hair, Craig Williams is building a reputation as a musical tour de force both behind the decks and in the studio. An Australian transplant who found his way to LA after nine years in the Australian Army as a Blackhawk helicopter crewman, Williams has seen tours of duty on humanitarian missions in such far flung places as East Timor & Pakistan. While he couldn’t take his CDJ’s with him, Craig got back on the decks with a vengeance after leaving the Army in 2008- beginning with a temp residency at the Full Moon parties in Queensland alongside marquee DJ’s such as Kaskade, Bang Gang Dj's and Andy Murphy. By 2009 he’d released his first single on Bombeatz and signed a deal with the label after moving to LA in 2010. That same year Craig Williams beat out more than 400 DJ’s in multiple rounds of international competition to become a finalist in the Lollapalooza Remix contest which he eventually won in front of a raucous capacity crowd at Chicago’s famous Double Door nightclub. Williams earned himself a trunkful of swag and a coveted spot on the 2010 Lollapalooza lineup, playing on Perry’s stage and partying afterward with DJ luminaries like Felix da House Cat, Rusko and Caspa. Later that year his remix of (Flirt In A Skirt (Sexy Skirt)) made the 24 UK pop club charts and Williams realized that there was no turning back on his music career ambitions and that the sky was the limit. Inspired by his success and the accolades from the industry, Craig Williams enrolled at the SAE institute in Los Angeles, recently graduating from the audio engineering school at the top of his class. A tireless worker in the studio, Williams has released nine tracks with Bombeatz and one each on the mk837 and Keep On Records labels this year alone and he is gaining attention for the Craig Williams sound, characterized by an eclectic ensemble of sounds that evoke the rawest of emotions and crisp, airy production. Craig Williams has big plans for the future in the production, composition and DJ arenas and if the last few years are any indication, it should be quite a show.
