Joseph's natural talent was evident at an early age after noticing him playing on everything in sight. He began recording at the age of 13 with some local Gospel choirs and rock bands around Chicago. "Drums were a God given gift, a part of my day to day life. I found a rhythm and groove in everything. Drums chose me at birth and I have been in a love affair with them ever since!"
After being groomed in Chicago, he made his transition to Atlanta. Since then he has played with Mother's Finest, the Indigo Girls, Frank McComb and Three5Human, D. Woods, Rich Boy, India Arie, Carl Thomas, Algebra Blessett, Gordon Chambers, Heston, Bobby Jones (TV), Latoya Luckett, John Legend and Tweet.
Along touring with Mother's Finest, T-Pain and Three5Human, he is busy promoting and touring his freshmen solo project Joseph Williams Band Basement Jamz Vol.1.
