"[2] He was born in 1959 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and raised on Ecclesall Road, Sheffield,[3] the son of Robert Woodman Williams, a singer and medical practitioner; he sang with South Yorkshire Opera.

The residency, which opened the Sphere, was met with universal acclaim, with The Daily Telegraph stating that U2 and Williams had "changed live entertainment forever".

[5] He has also worked with musical artists such as R.E.M.,[6][7] David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Robbie Williams, Darren Hayes,[8] George Michael[9] and Self Esteem.

[12] The sculptures, entitled "Lumia Domestica", create kaleidoscopic projections in the tradition of Nicolas Schöffer and Thomas Wilfred by refracting light through household glassware.

Other public works include the creation of lighting installations at London's Southbank Centre and within Canterbury Cathedral;[13] "SkyChurch", a multimedia performance space at the Experience Music Project in Seattle, Washington, and a permanent exhibit at Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum.
