Js Williams has played an important role in music both in Montreal and internationally with his remarkable work as a composer, guitarist and musician. As a film composer he has worked on different shorts, feature films and ads. Amongst his influences are Mika Levi and Jóhann Jóhannsson. Like them, he likes to push the boundariesof what music can do, by challenging the traditions and experimenting. Williams sees the score as one of the characters, inseparable from the visual and often blurs the line between sound design and film music composition. In 2019 he was nominated for best original song at the Academy Screen Awards for the film “Sashinka”.

As a guitar player, his unique talent has led him to work with acclaimed artists such as Elisapie, Yannick Rieu, Térez Montcalm, Alejandra Ribera, Socalled and others. In 2019 Williams released his first album From a Plane which was recorded with Rob Heaney (Patrick Watson, Barr Brothers) and has been nominated for best debut album at the Independant Music Awards.
