Damone Williams is an Actor, Singer, and Writer, with dreams of helping to bring about change in the world, through his God-given talents, all while making a living, doing what he loves! Damone strives for EXCELLENCE in everything he does.
He has been acting all his life, on and off stage, but his passion for it wasn't truly ignited until his Freshman year in High School, when he took part in his first play. From then on, he was hooked!
He went on to appear in production after production at his high school, including Shakespeare's "A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM" (Lysander), Ray Bradbury's "FAHRENHEIT 451" (Chief Beatty), and the award-winning, world-premiere of Christian Kiley's "STRINGS ATTACHED"(Marshall).
During High School, Damone also pursued a professional acting career. He landed his first lead role in a film in 2005. The film was, "EMEKA", the story of a Nigerian family, and the prejudices they face here in America. Also starring Nico Onwura, the film went on to win many awards and accolades nationwide. Damone was a guest at the screening at the famous PAN AFRICAN FILM FESTIVAL (www.paff.org) in 2006.
Most notably, in 2007, Damone was cast opposite Kerry Washington (http://imdb.com/name/nm0913488/) and Michael Ealy (http://imdb.com/name/nm1013003/), in Jabril Muhammad's "PUT IT IN A BOOK" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1377354/), a film about the struggle with raising a sibling, alone, in inner-city Los Angeles.
Damone has also appeared in the new Nickelodeon series, "BIG TIME RUSH" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1131746/).

Damone is also a vocalist. This passion was ignited by his high school choir teachers, Mrs. Amy Dunyon and Mrs. Michelle Akrami. Damone has a passion for ALL music, with an emphasis on jazz/soul. And his voice fits it perfectly. In 2007 he joined his high school's world-renowned jazz band, under the direction of Don Jaramillo (http://www.etiwanda.com/biography.html). After graduating, Damone went on to perform with the Chaffey Jazz Ensemble and is currently in the pre-production stages on his first album.
In addition, Damone has been writing since he was 8 (of course, they weren't that good back then, lol.). He prides himself on writing films with great characters, great dialogue, and even greater storylines. Damone has taken up writing more than just films. He's currently working on two television hour-long pilots, a sitcom pilot, two musicals, and a straight play. He wants to get in the door, any way he can. = )
Look out for him...he's coming.
