Mark T. Williams was born in Los Angeles in April 1958. He has been supporting as drummer on quite a many albums and live performances of well-known artists such as Don Henley, Cher, Air Supply, Eddie Money, Crosby Stills & Nash, Tina Tuner, Paul Rogers and many others since he started his professional career when he was only fifteen. Mark called upon Joe Porcaro as principle drum instructor while also studying music theory and arranging. Mark also went on Berklee College of Music from 1976 to 1979. Meanwhile, you would like to note that he is the elder-brother of Joseph Williams (TOTO lead singer).
Mark T. Williams started to release his solo albums as Lionel's Dad with his first one "Lionel's Dad", on which you can listen to Mark T. version of "Thousand Years" originally performed by TOTO, under his own small label named Andromeda in 1995. The initial copies of this CD were sold out very quick and the additional copies were distributed in response to the repeated request from many music lovers through many AOR/West Coast Music CD Specialized Internet-based retailers. Mark plays almost all of the instruments such as guitar, Bass, hammond organ and keyboards as well as drums on his solo albums. I believe that Mark T. Williams will keep on providing us with his good music. Please keep your eyes open for his music activity from now. Mark's music style including his voice is quite similar as that of Joseph's. It means that very good AOR / Westcoast one. If you would like Toto albums featuring Joseph on the lead vocals and/or Joseph's solo albums, Mark T. Williams must become another one of your favourite artists.
