James A. Williams is originally from England. At 3 years he was diagnosed with autism and admits to processing information different from most people. It was around that time, when he was starting to take small lessons in playing the piano but never picked up on it. Around 2010, however, a decision was made that would change his life for the better. He stumbled across a Youtube visual tutorial on Fantasie Impromptu Op. 66 in C sharp minor by Frederic Chopin which quickly became his go-to trademark for his piano skills. After months of practicing and following along without traditional music theory, he memorized the famous masterpiece.
There was an opportunity to take part in a middle school talent showcase; in a short period of time, a first-place prize was awarded to him. After more inspiration and determination for establishing his gift, he took on the next step of his journey, participating in The National Fine Arts Competition. In order to raise funds to travel with the church congregation across the country, performing for tips and selling CDs helped out tremendously, thus A Moment With The Classics was born by mid-2011 with a few recordings of my classical renditions.
