Né aux Etats-Unis, TITUS écrivain, poète, chanteur, musicien, compose avec passion un gospel traditionnel imprégné par de nouvelles sonorités contemporaines sans jamais trahir la musique sacrée noire.
TITUS est profondément inspiré par son père le Réverend O. W. Williams, Pasteur Nazoréen (Baptiste) en Louisianne, et Mississippi puis s'installe à Milwaukee dans le Wisconsin, lui même descendant de son père le Réverend Joshua Williams et ainsi TITUS perpétue la lignée familiale en prêchant et en chantant les Spirituals et Gospels.
Sa carrière débute dès l'âge de six ans dans l'Unity Missionary Nazoréen (Baptist) Church, église de son père, où, il chantait en solo, et dès quatorze ans, c'était un chanteur et guitariste accompli. Dans les année 75, il parcourt les Etats Unis et le Canada avec des célébrités de la Motown, Atlantic, et Stax.
La carrière professionnelle de TITUS est jalonnée d'importantes rencontres : Sister Rosetta Thorpe, Luther Allison, Al Green, Tyrone Davis, Bobby Womack, Wane Bennett, Tom Tom, Curtis Mayfield, Ruben Philips, James Brown, The Temptations, The Jacksons, Al Jarro, Esther Philips, Sweet Honey in the Rock,...
Il a joué avec The Esquires, The Drifters, John Littleton, Greg Hunter, Champion Jack Dupree, Mickey Baker, Lucky Peterson, Lavelle, Melvin Taylor, Jerome Van Jones, Liz McComb, Edwin Hawkins, U.S.A. Mass Gospel Choir, et bien d'autres.
Il découvre l'Afrique et ses racines par des tournées comme, guitariste et bassist de Myriam Makeba puis rencontre des stars de l'avant garde du Jazz Américain et du Blues avec qui il enregistre différents albums.
Nourri de ses expériences musicales multiculturelles, il fonde en Europe la première chorale noire américaine : THE USA MASS CHOIR.
Il enregistre un mini-album solo : UNITY MISSION puis se produit dans de grande salle telle que le Palais Des Congrès de Paris, évenement médiatique formidable qui a réunit sur un même scène les choeurs de l'armée rouge et TITUS entouré par sa chorale de Gospel, ce concert a été organisé par Amnesty International.
Il a participé avec sa chorale USA MASS CHOIR à la journée des orphelins d'Ethiopie avec Barbara Hendrix.
TITUS et la U.S.A. MASS GOSPEL CHOIR a reçu le prix Louis Armstrong des main du Professor Marcellin Ajavan au Premier International Festival de Gospel de Paris pour la promotion de la musique Gospel en Europe.
Avec sa chorale, USA MASS CHOIR il sillonne l'Europe et la France en particulier, de festivals en Cathédrales et de théatres en abbayes avec ses choristes noirs américains venant des quatre coins des Etats Unis. Ce sont tous des artistes de grand talent. Chanteurs, musiciens, solistes de choc.
Plus de 30, 000 personnes se sont déplacés dans le cadre du festival "Paris Quartier d'Eté" pour acclamer ce grand artiste dont le charisme généreux nous transporte au pays des champs de coton.

Born and raised in the United States, TITUS is an author, poet, singer, and musician, who composes with passion traditional gospel songs inspirited with new contemporary sounds still never to betray African American sacred music.
TITUS was deeply inspired by his father, the Reverend O. W. Williams. A Minister Nazoraean (Baptist) from Louisianna who also preached in Mississippi and Chicago and then after settled down in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He descended from his father the Reverend Joshua Williams and so Titus perpetuates the family line by preaching and singing Spirituals and Gospel songs.
His profession has humble beginnings at the age of 6 years old in his father's church, the Unity Missionary Nazoraean (Baptist) Church of America where he started singing solo and at the age of 14 years old he was an accomplished singer and guitar player. In 1975 he started traveling the United States with famous artists of the record labels Motown, Atlantic, and Stax.
The professional carreer of TITUS is punctuated with important artist meetings : Mahalia Jackson, Sister Rosetta Thorpe, Luther Allison, Al Green, Tyrone Davis, Bobby Womack, Wane Bennett, Tom Tom 94, Curtis Mayfield, Ruben Philips, James Brown, The Temptations, The Jackson 5, Al Jarro, Esther Philips, Sweet Honey in the Rock...
He has performed with The Esquires, Vic Pitts, The Drifters, John Littleton, Greg Hunter, Champion Jack Dupree, Mickey Baker, Lucky Peterson, Lavelle, Melvin Taylor, Jerome Van Jones, Liz McComb, Edwin Hawkins, USA Mass Gospel Choir, and many others.
He discovered Africa and his roots on African tours playing guitar and bass with Myriam Makeba. He meet the stars of the avant garde of American Jazz and Blues with whom he recorded different albums.
He founded in Europe the very 1st all African American Gospel choir: THE USA MASS GOSPEL CHOIR. He then spear-headed making known the tradition of Gospel music in France by inspiring to bring famous Chicago Gospel artists to perform in Paris.
Nourished with his multicultural musical experiences he recorded a mini-album solo : UNITY MISSION and started performing in big places like the Palais Des Congres De Paris, a historical event which brought together on the same stage the Red Army Choir and TITUS (with Liz McComb) and one of his favorite West Indian gospel choirs, which he held musical direction (The Gospel Chords Singers). That concert was organized by Amnesty International.
THE USA MASS GOSPEL CHOIR and TITUS performed for the Ethiopian Orphans Day with Barbara Hendrix.
TITUS and THE U.S.A. MASS GOSPEL CHOIR received the Louis Armstrong Award of Excellence from the hands of Professor Marcellin Ajavan, at the very 1st International Gospel Festival of Paris, for the promotion of Gospel music in Europe.
With his choir of African Americans from all corners of the United States, who were all artists of great talent, shocking singers and musicians (THE USA MASS GOSPEL CHOIR), criss-crossed Europe and France in particular, and TITUS is the very first American to perform Gospel music in the churches and theaters of France.
more than 30,000 people came to the festival 'Paris Quartier d'Eté' to cheer this great artist who's generous charisma transports us to the country of cotton fields.
TITUS blends in Jazz, Classical, Blues, R&B, Funk, and even Rap, to demontrate that Gospel is a music resolutely modern.
