Contemporary soul singer\xa0Christopher Williams\xa0was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. The nephew of jazz legend\xa0Ella Fitzgerald\xa0decided to become a singer after sitting with his aunt\xa0Ella,\xa0Frank Sinatra\xa0and\xa0Count Basie\xa0after a show. With talent in his genes and the desire to be a great recording artist, Christopher Williams emerged during the late 1980s, as a recording artist for Geffen Records. He released his debut album, entitled \u201cAdventures in Paradise\u201d, in 1989. The singles \u201cTalk To Myself\u201d and \u201cPromises, Promises\u201d reached the R&B Top 10 charts, and Christopher\u2019s soulful, powerful voice made him stand out among his peers. In 1991, he landed his first acting role portraying\xa0Kareem Akbar, appearing alongside\xa0Wesley Snipes\xa0and\xa0Ice-T\xa0in the pop culture movie hit,\xa0New Jack City. His single from the soundtrack of the same name,\xa0\u201cDreamin\u2019\u201d turned gold and became a #1 single on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks charts. His 1992 Uptown Records album \u201cChanges\u201d featured the hits \u201cAll I See\u201d, "Every Little Thing" and "Come Go with Me." The album peaked at sixty-three on the U.S. Billboard 200 and reached the twelfth spot on the R&B Albums chart. In 1995 the album \u201cChanges\u201d was followed up by \u201cNot a Perfect Man\u201d on Giant Records. This album brought a new direction for Williams; his first album as sole Executive Producer uses elements of reggae, R&B, hip-hop and country. In 2001, after a six year hiatus the album \u201cReal Men Do\u201d was released on the indie label Renegade, receiving rave reviews from Ebony Magazine and many other notable publications.
