Frank Williams, founder of the Mississippi Mass Choir, began singing gospel music as a child. His father, Leon. Frank performed with his brothers in an act know as The Williams Brothers, later joining the Jackson Southernaires.

Frank had a vision of soulful voices of Mississippi needed to be captured in choir. For over nine years this idea developed until he could contain it no longer. He approached his gospel-writing friend, David Curry and The two sent audition announcements via radio across the state of Mississippi and tapes began pouring in. People of Mississippi thrust themselves into the mission of this choir, to serve God through song.

Redefining the choir experience, each concert is like a rousing church service, with a Reverend at the helm. Skillfully weaving a scriptural message into the soul-stirring, roof-raising gospel sounds of the singers, Reverend Benjamin Cone, the choir’s spiritual advisor, delivers with the authority of one who knows God personally. His presence on stage commands attention, his deep articulate voice bears listening. By the end of the concert, there is no one left who has remained in their seat throughout, no voice unsung, no hands left hanging limply at anyone’s side, and no one who hasn’t felt a mountain move within them by what they have just experienced. The Mississippi Mass Choir moves the masses.
