Terrence Williams joined Mississippi Heat in 2013.
He has played drums since he was two years old. He got formal training in High school while playing in the marching band in the R.O.T.C. His career path led to working with great gospel, jazz, and blues artists among other genres.
Terence is a well-traveled drummer. He has played in such places as Montreal and many other cities in Canada, as well as Paris, Rome, Budapest, and Sidney, Australia. Among the artists he has worked with are the Chi-Lites, Mrs. Albertina Walker, Mr. Jesse Dixon, Rev. Clay Evans, and Marshall Thompson, to name a few.
As Pierre recently wrote to a promoter:
“Terrence is an awesome drummer. He works full-time with us and travels worldwide whenever we perform. He is a special musician who listens to the ensemble and never overstates his contribution. ’T-Man’ is a true and natural team player, on and off the bandstand. I cannot overstate how much he adds to our music. He is a joy to have around. ”
