Bio
Danny Williams is a Musician, Improviser, Recording Artist, Composer, and Music Educator in Lexington Kentucky. He has well over a decade of teaching Mandolin, Bass, Guitar and Music Theory.
Danny started his musical journey singing first in the school choir at the age of 13 and quickly started to learn to play guitar. "My closest friends and I all started playing around the same time and we pushed each other to get better". Before to long a band was formed. The Green Genes. Danny actually started out playing drums in the band and in his four years in the band he also played, guitar, keyboards, and bass. Being in the Green Genes he learned a lot about performance and music and got to apply the concepts of Music theory that he was learning in college.
Danny studied at E.K.U., Snead State in Alabama and South Plains College in Texas. He specialized in Performance and Music Theory especially Jazz Theory.
When he made the move back to Kentucky from Texas he decided to learn the Mandolin. "The greatest decision I've ever made!" The Mandolin has been his primary instrument for 11 years now and not just acoustic but mainly his Electric Baritone Mandolin.
Currently he plays in two bands. Happy Family where I play Baritone Electric Mandolin and Guitar and Bluegrass Collective which is a local Bluegrass Band where I sing and play Acoustic Mandolin.
Danny teaches at the Lexington Music Academy in Lexington, Kentucky. He gives private lessons in Theory, Mandolin, Bass, and Guitar. He teaches all genres and all levels. He uses the concepts of Theory to help students grow as musicians and improvisers. "I really love teaching people to be better musicians even if it means you want to do it for a career or just to release some stress from a long day."
