Advance-biography

Dancehall artist, song-writer and the first nephew of Bounty Killer, Advance born Omar David Williams on March 18, 1984 in Seaview Garden, Kingston 11. He was the only child for his mother, Sophia Sandy Price, who always described her son as being “unique, talented and passionate”. “Advance will be a great artist because He performs with feelings and is the epitome of greatness”, His mother would say.
His grandfather Basil Price was a “sound-owner” he operated the Black Scorpio Sound system, which is now owned by Jack Scorpio. Hence, from a very tender age Advance was exposed to the world of music and entertainment. Advance’s father migrated to New York when he was very young; and so he was raised by his mother and his extended family (uncles, grandmother, grandfather and aunts) which caused him to spend a great deal of time with his two uncles (Rodney “Bounty Killer” Price and Mark “Balli” Price) who had the task of assisting their father with setting up the sound boxes at the different venues, where the sound played and Advance had the pleasure of accompanying them.
However, for Advance, the intimacy of the music industry occurred at age 8 when his uncle Bounty Killer entered the business. Bounty Killer has received the accolade as being a legend and a dancehall icon and is the founder of The Alliance Group of which Advance is a member. The Alliance consists of entertainers such Mavado, Elephant Man, Busy Signal and Wayne Marshall; these artists were actually recruited by Bounty Killer and all of whom have become world renowned entertainers. Jamaican critics have labelled Bounty Killer “as having an eye for great entertainers that not only shine but escalade to becoming spectacular artists”.
In 2005, Advance was given the opportunity to go on the United States tour with his uncle. And, it was there that this young man decided his destiny. However, upon his return to Jamaica, Advance’s mother had other plans for him as she envisioned him as being an electrician. Hence, right after high school he was sent to the HEART Academy in Portmore, St. Catherine to learn electrical engineering. Being a son who was bent on pleasing his mother,Advance obediently went to HEART.However, to execute his own dreams he spoke to his grandmother Ivy Williams (Miss Ivy) and with her help and his lunch money Advance attended vocal lessons after school and visited the studio, “to gain experience”, he said. Miss Ivy was very encouraging, as she said that if she had not facilitated her son’s dreams then the world would not have gotten the privilege to enjoy a Bounty Killer. For this reason “I open my heart and my pocket to Advance”, Miss Ivy said.
When asked about his music and how it has moulded him as a person Advance said “my music is very personal, it speaks to who I am as a person: loving, jovial, spontaneous, and creative, with positive messages all of which depicts my true life experiences which included those persons to whom I have experienced them with. The greatest reward for me is to see the reaction towards my music, the smiles, the tears and the joy that my music has bestowed on people, all over the world”.
His mother died on January 31, 2011 and he thought he would not be able to go on. However, surprisingly each time “I feel like stopping it is her voice and her words that propel me to push forward. She has taught me so much, and through my music, i will express the values that she has instilled in me to the world”. “My family and my siblings (Marcie, Natty, Patsy, Wendy, Tamara, Mark and Rodney) are my tower of strength I could not stand, if they were not there to hold me up. Family is very important to me, as my grandmother always said “boy never fi get u family dem is all you have in dis world” and trust me, my grandmother could have never been more right”.
Smiling, Advance said that his favorite artist was his uncle Bounty Killer, “he has taught me everything that I know about the music industry, I will be forever indebted to him”. And, “what he has not taught me in words, I have learnt through his actions.” None-the-less Advance has declared that there are other Artists whose work, he has grown to appreciate: Sizzla Kalonji, the infamous Bob Marley, Buju Banton,Jah Cure,Shabba Ranks &Tarrus Riley.
According to Advance, his greatest personal accomplishments are: his wife (Rim Meliane Williams), his son Zion Williams and his step daughter Chelsey Maniga. Currently, “their inspiration and expectation of me and my promise to my mother to do great things are my motivators”, he said.
With great glee, Advance said that in terms of his career his major accomplishment was when he performed on the same stage with his uncle. Reminiscing, Advance with a smile said that every event he went to, he had prayed that his uncle would call him on stage to perform, but it never happened and so he had given up. To his surprise however, one night without any warning he was backstage when he heard his name being called by his uncle, not being prepared and also being extremely flabbergast he stood without moving for a good two seconds; it was not until he heard his name a second time that he realized that Bounty Killer summoned him on stage. “A must horrific and yet marveling experience”, Advance said. “However what was even more remarkable, was when I received commendation from my uncles that I had done a magnificent job, I knew then that I had chosen the right career”, Advance said.
Another big accomplishment for Advance was when his song “GIDEON on the pure & clean riddim”was played on ZIP 103 in “by radio personel nikki-Z in 2007”.
Advance, presently resides in Sweden and has been creating tremendous waves. Just recently on,(February 15, 2011) at the “VALENTINE SPECIAL THE GULLY GAD MAVADO LIVE IN STOCKHOLM SWEDEN ADVANCE”. performed with Mavado his long standing friend and received standing ovation from the crowd.
His first music video “Never Fear Dem” which was directed by Endless and shot in Jamaica was a great success and got several hits. Advance has shot varied videos since, some of which are: “So Amazing” featuring Whitey Foord and shot in Sweden; So Di Ting Set Up” featuring Flex and many more.
Currently, Advance is finalizing his first debut album which is scheduled to release this summer, entitled “Game Over” and is produce by Nordic Steel Record Label with hit singles like: “Call My Phone”, “Jah Jah Guide We”. The album will include songs, such as “A Better Way” featuring Million Stylez, and “Suffering People” featuring Danjah and Murda Dem” this song is produced by Advance on his personal label, Success Recordz Entertainment Inc.
During his tenure as a Dancehall Artist he has worked with of course his uncle, Bounty Killer, Mavado, Busy Signal, VybzKartel, Munga Honorable, Angel Doolas, Baby Cham, Million Stylez, and Danjah. Producers like, SupaHype, Karim, Jazzy-t, Baby G, Chester,Blaxxx, and many more. Advance has performed in many countries over the world, namely New York, Washington, Canada, Sweden, Germany, Finland and Jamaica his place of birth.
However, according to Advance “this is just the tip of the iceberg for me – I have much bigger waves to climb”. “My goal is to have a discography of over one million memorable songs that are recognized and listened to, by the world. “My discography will not be complete however, until I have a single(s) with my uncle Bounty Killer, which also happens to be a promise that I made to my mother, one that I must fulfill”, Advance said.
Advance sees himself traveling all over the world and using his music to entertain and tranquilize millions of people. “My music will profess the message of love, peace and unity and this I will do throughout the world waving my Jamaican flag because I hold my songs, myself and Jamaica at the highest regard”. “Me, Advance, I will just continue to keep working hard on my craft to perfect it and continue making wonderful music,for the people”. “I will continue to shine through my mother’s eyes; she said she saw greatness in me, so that is what I aim to be a great singjay; one whose songs can be enjoyed by all cultures and by persons of all age god bless”.
