We had the good fortune of connecting with Traffic Williams and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Traffic, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I chose an artistic career because music is the only thing that has given me true peace. I have worked the majority of my life and with that you have no time for you. I chose to take the risk and step out on faith because I would rather put my well-being in my own hands. My mother was a school teacher, music teacher , and organ player at church. My dad played guitar. I have a cousin that plays organs here in Atlanta for multiple churches right now also. Music as a whole has always been a major factor in my life. I love all aspects of music and many genres so being able to work around music is my life long goal and passion. I will go through all the No’s again because I was never in this for the money just passion.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I have the ability to work with mostly anyone. I have a love for music and people in general. Being able to relate to mostly anyone is how I can separate myself from a lot of people. I can empathize or sympathize with people and listen. I feel your music tells your story, so when I work with an artist I like to match feelings with the beat.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

Day 1 – Go downtown and ride through the city.
Day 2 – KOD
Day 3 – Go to 3 different mom and pop restaurants. There are too many good ones to name!!!!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to thank God first of all. My parents who are both in a better place watching over me. I want to thank my family “related and not related” for believing in me. I also want to thank everyone that I have come in contact with through my musical journey good or bad. Every song, studio session, late night and early morning meant something to me.
