Music by Cole Williams Trio

Her music? A delicious blend of reggae, soul, world, African Rock, and R&B, creating a sonic gumbo that will transport you to another world. But Cole isn't just about music; she's a leader in humanitarian causes, an entrepreneur, and an educator. As the founder of the nonprofit organization Worldwide Partnerships and the driving force behind The Greater New Orleans Citizens Relief Team, Cole's impact extends far beyond the stage.
