In over a decade in the dance music industry, Shaheer Williams can proudly attest to being a "jack of all trades" and master of most. From DJing, remixing, music production, and now label head, Williams has been a pivotal force in the intense whirlpool of talent in New Jersey's musical fraternity.
Born in Orange, New Jersey, Shaheer began his DJing career in earnest, taking to the turntables at age seven. By the age of nine, he had already DJ'd his first major gig at East Orange's Club 88. While in high school and listening to ground breaking DJs like Tony Humphries and Timmy Regisford, Williams began working at the influential music store, Movin' Records. This employ not only gave him a grass roots education in the dance music genre, but crucially afforded him numerous music contacts. Encouraged by family members who were successful producers within the dance music community themselves, Williams secured his first deejay residency at the legendary club Zanzibar on college night in the early '90's. At the same time, Shaheer was honing his skills as a remixer and producer.
Today, Shaheer is re-launching Soul Groove Music, his brain child and musical outlet for over a decade. Look out for brand new releases from Kenny Bobien, Tyrah J, Ruffneck and more.
