K.M. Williams was born in 1956 in Clarksville, Texas. He was raised in Red River County, Texas, deep in the country of northeast Texas. A guitar lesson with a traveling bluesman (believed to be Elmore James) passing thru DeKalb, Texas at age 7 hooked him onto the blues.
After finishing high school, Williams joined the U. S. Navy in 1975 and enlisted in the submarine service. He relocated to Cleveland, Ohio after leaving the Navy in 1981 and began performing part-time for local gospel choirs, quartets and groups. Williams became a ordained minister in the Holiness Church in 1995. Williams relocated back to Texas, moving to Dallas in 1999, and began performing solo blues gigs around Deep Ellum, Lower Greenville, Irving, and Arlington. Williams also plays with Trainreck, a rockin' boogie/blues duo with Texas washboard player and percussionist Washboard Jackson.
Over the years, Williams has released numerous internationally acclaimed CDs.
