Grammy winning Michelle Williams Signs With Light Records:

Grammy Award winning singer/actress Michelle Williams recently signed a recording deal with Light Records/eOne and is preparing for a 2013 release of her third Gospel album. Light Records is the home of The Winans, Andrae Crouch, Jessica Reedy, Ricky Dillard, JJ Hairston & Youthful Praise and Dorinda Clark Cole.

“I had no idea they were looking for me,” said Williams about how the deal come to be. “My manager said James Robinson (president of Light Records) said he loved my music and wanted to sign me. I never knew he knew my songs. He even knew the track number!”

Michelle said she is glad to be with a team that is passionate about her music and understands her vision. Her vision brought her to Destiny Child in 2000 where she remained a member through the Grammy Award win and the Hollywood Walk of Fame Star. Destiny’s Child became one of the best-selling female groups of all time.
