About William and Staggers Music Entertainment
William T. Staggers
Musician, Vocalist, Songwriter and
Producer
Gifted
with the ability of an incredible artist and songwriter, William
Tramiel Staggers is a combination of a “throwback” to the days of
“Real Music” composed on real instruments along with the savvy beats
of today. A native of Little Rock, Arkansas, William began
playing the piano at age 3. By the time he was 12, William was
a full-fledged musician in his church where he played piano for the
choir and sang.
William
graduated from the historical Little Rock Central High School where
he performed in the madrigals, concert choir, concert band and jazz
band.
Though his true artistry is literally
the ability to make a piano or any keyboard “walk”, William is also
an exceptional, accomplished saxophonist. His velvety smooth
voice and playing abilities has enabled William to perform for a
long list of dignitaries. In 1990, William was
introduced to then Governor of Arkansas and now Former President
of the United States, Bill Clinton. On several occasions William
played for jazz brunches held at the Governor’s mansion during Mr.
Clinton’s term as Governor of Arkansas. Furthermore,
William had the distinctive honor of performing on many occasions
for President Clinton during his term as President of the United
States. William has also performed for Jerry Jones, owner of the
Dallas Cowboys and Middle Weight Champion Of The World, Jermaine
Taylor.
William has performed with many
artists such as Al Green, Isaac Hayes, Albert King, Bobby Rush, Larry “Totsy”
Davis and Ron Kenolly. He’s also opened shows for The Four Tops,
Peabo Bryson, B.B. King, Johnnie Taylor, Javier, Johnnie Winters, Rick
James, Koko Taylor, Freda Payne, Tyrone Davis, Shirley Caesar and
Comedian Rich Little and many more.
William currently owns and operates a
recording studio, Staggers Music Entertainment, where he specializes
in instrumental soundtracks and audio mastering. In 2006, William
released an album and got excellent reviews. William has produced
several albums for other recording artists across the country and is
currently working on his next album. At 6’5” and a wealth of stage
presence, this single Sagittarius is a natural live performer.
The second oldest of four children,
William credits his parents with providing a stable two-parent
household and plenty of love for him to nurture his gift. A
gift he looks forward to sharing for many generations to come.
When William is not on the road or
overseas, he can be seen performing in some of the distinguished
restaurants and venues around town in Little Rock, Arkansas
