About Wayne Williams
Wayne Williams in Las Vegas
Wayne Williams co-founded The Chosen Few DJs in Chicago in 1977 alongside Jesse Saunders, Tony Hatchett, Alan King, and Andre Hatchett — one of the first DJ collectives creating what became known as house music. Their annual Chosen Few Picnic & House Music Festival, started in 1990, now draws 70,000+ attendees. Williams earned a 2014 Grammy nomination for Jennifer Hudson's 'It's Your World' and a 2015 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Album for Aretha Franklin's 'Sings the Great Diva Classics.'

Classic Chicago house music rooted in the original South Side DJ tradition — Wayne Williams's sets draw directly from the foundational house music vocabulary he helped create in the late 1970s, blending soulful house, vocal house, and classic dance music with the authority of one of the genre's founding practitioners.
