TroyDroppyDoggWilliams2Williams, who we at TMOTTGoGo often referred to as “Boy Troy”, was not only a fellow musician who played in such go-go bands as Central Groove, Physical Wonders and Petworth Band, but also a well known producer in the music industry period. One who had without doubt become on of the most sought after producer in the mid-Atlantic region. He was at one time one of Polygram Music Publishing’s top in-house producers. As well as having many in the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area who were serious about pursuing a record deal, pursuing one of his tracks.  A few local projects include teen divas Exhale, and B-Baller Dennis Scott.
