Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and attended the Philadelphia School System, where he received his initial musical training. He became proficient at many of the woodwind instruments including the clarinet, oboe, bassoon, and bass clarinet. While in school, Ezra sang with the All City Choir and performed with the All City Orchestra. In 1975, God granted Ezra the gift of playing the piano: he began to use his talent to play hymns during his church services. In 1977, he began to expand his talent to other churches as a drummer. While in the church Ezra’s’ fellowship with God grew and he was soon ordained a Deacon. He is currently a member of the House of Prayer Church of the Living God.
As God increased his talent for playing the piano, he was also developing Deacon Williams' abilities to direct and give vocal instructions. As his God given talent elevated him to Minister of Music, Deacon Williams has served Minister of Music for many churches in the Tri-state area. With the unique ability to transform an established hymn, God began to inspire Deacon Williams with original songs of praise, worship and inspiration to share with the world. Thus his first recording, “Touch Me Lord” with the aide of the Predestined Praise singers is offered with humility and honor.
