Antony Von Williams, known professionally as the World Famous Tony Williams, is an American singer and songwriter from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Williams is perhaps best known for his vocals on his first cousin Kanye West's debut album, The College Dropout (2004) and contributions to every subsequent album except for Watch The Throne, ye, and Jesus Is King.[1]
Williams previously went by Tony Williams but added "The World Famous" to his name "to differentiate himself from the famous drummer with the same name."[2]
