Since August 2006, Williams has represented clients like award-winning producer Steven Ford, praise and worship artist Alvin Slaughter, famed singer and Stellar Award winner DeWayne Woods, 2009 Stellar Award nominee Terrell Hunt and Gospel Jazz artist and producer Terrence Richburg. Developing comprehensive public relations campaigns for gospel artists and Christian authors is one of the company’s fortes. Although much of her company’s mission has been devoted to publicity, Tehillah Enterprises will soon be venturing into artist management and booking. With the company’s staff experience in gospel music, having a more active role in the direction of an artist’s career is clearly the next step for the company. New artists being added to Tehillah Enterprises’ roster will be announced soon.

In addition, Tehillah Enterprises will be branching out into event management. The company organized its first gospel music concert, in conjunction with the U.S. Army Entertainment Division, last year. The event, held at Fort Belvoir, VA, included gospel artists CeCe Winans, Byron Cage and the 7 Sons of Soul. Tehillah Enterprises will be organizing more gospel music and Christian events in the near future.

Williams is no stranger to the music industry. Employed for 8 years with the GRAMMY Awards, she was part of the original staff of the D.C. Chapter of the GRAMMY Awards, known as The Recording Academy. During her tenure, she brought gospel icons like Richard Smallwood, Donald Lawrence, Tonex, Kim Burrell, Tramaine Hawkins, and many others on board as members (and board members) of The Recording Academy. She was, also, instrumental in the Academy’s Salute To Gospel Music series which included artists like Kirk Franklin, Donnie McClurkin, CeCe Winans, Shirley Caesar and Smokie Norful.

Outside of the Academy, Williams has been named a “Mover & Shaker” in the 2004 – 2009 editions of the Gospel Music Industry Round-up, known as the “Bible of the Gospel Music Industry”. She’s a former writer for online and written publications such as Gospelcity.com, Charisma Magazine, and Gospel Today Magazine, to name a few. Also, as a writer, she’s penned bios for artists such as Marvin Sapp, Byron Cage, Dr. Bobby Jones, Vickie Winans, Jonathan Butler, Tramaine Hawkins, Trin-i-tee 5:7, Kenny Lattimore & Chante’ Moore, and many others.

Williams’ company, Tehillah Enterprises, is also the creator of The Tehillah Report, an e-zine reaching thousands highlighting the genre of praise and worship, the D.C. Gospel News Update e-zine, focusing on what’s going on in gospel music in the Nation’s Capital, and its complimentary website, DCGospelNewsUpdate.com. Williams, truly, has a goal of blessing the gospel music community. “I am thankful that God allowed me to realize my dream,” says the President of Tehillah Enterprises. “I am excited to see what God has in store next.”
