SPEAKER & INSPIRATIONAL LECTURER

Always known to have a way with words, Andrea René Williams is a gifted speaker. Her ability to encourage anyone within earshot and speak “what thus saith the Lord” are two characteristics that she is complimented on regularly. She has led Bible studies where believers left inspired. Her knowledge of the Bible, gifts as a prophet and ability to rightly divide the word of God finds her stepping into the role of minister in the near future.

In addition to her religious messages, she also speaks about the music industry and music ministry. She has been called upon to speak about the Gospel music industry on TV and at conferences. She's been a guest panelist for many conferences and contests including the Independent Gospel Artists Alliance Conference, the Kellogg's Gospel Sing-Off Competition, the National Gospel Artist Showcase, the Northeast Artists Guild East Coast Music & Worship Conference, the Ministers Of Music Summit, the Bobby Jones Gospel Industry Retreat and the United States Army Entertainment Division's Stars Of Tomorrow Contests. She was featured on Former NAACP Chair Kweisi Mfume's television show, "The Bottom Line", on their segment about the rising popularity of gospel music.

With 20 years’ of experience under her belt in the Gospel music industry (including an 8-year stint at the GRAMMY Awards and 12 years as a publicist representing legends like Gladys Knight, Andraé Crouch, Earnest Pugh and Martha Munizzi) and decades more sitting under great choir directors like Richard Smallwood, Byron Cage and Ricky Dillard, she knows Gospel music. In addition, this industry and ministry professional is educated, receiving her Bachelors in Music Business from the renowned Berklee College of Music. She was on the Dean's List every semester she attended and secured a 3.99 GPA upon leaving the institution. When speaking about the industry and music ministry, she pulls much of what she shares from her book, Live The Life You Sing About: How To Live With Integrity In The Gospel & Christian Music Industry.
