CMT's Music City Madness Queen,
Stephanie Beck Williams,
Releases new single "Not Your Normal Country Girl"--Impacting
Radio Now
Nashville, TN (July 2, 2008)--After millions voted for Stephanie Beck
Williams to win of the CMT's first Music City Madness talent search,
the sultry southern singer/songwriter/model agent returns to radio
with her newest single, "Not Your Normal Country Girl," (CDX 451,
track 14.)
Described as a little country, a little pop, a little rock but all southern,
this catchy summer single is her second release and the title track
on her album. "Not Your Normal Country Girl," written by Stephanie
Beck Williams and husband Dan Williams, was prodded by
Williams' real life. Williams explains, "...looking at my experiences, I
realized that this is how I have always seen myself, as not your
normal country girl. I felt like I needed a song that would explain my
style of music and why I am who I am."
Born in Texas and raised in Biloxi, Mississippi, Williams has always
been drawn to a fresh country style sound that defines her single
and CD release. "My dad bought me my first two albums," she
recalls. "The Jackson 5's Greatest Hits and Paper Roses by Marie
Osmond. So right from the get-go I was into that pop-meets-country
flavor."
Since winning CMT's Music City Madness talent search, Stephanie
Beck Williams has been busy with her dual careers as a recording
artist and model and talent agent. Along with filming a video for her
new single, "Not Your Normal Country Girl" with the world famous,
Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, Williams has started working with
Youth Villages, an organization in 11 states that works with foster
children. She is performing songs and teaching the trade of
modeling and acting to transitional and foster children to help build
their confidence and self-esteem. Williams recently went in to the
studio to record the James Brown hit, "Try Me" as an adoption
awareness song for the hundreds of thousands of children in the
U.S. waiting to be adopted. "I was really motivated after winning
CMT Music City Madness, to do things I always just talked about
doing", says Williams. "As an adopted child, I knew it was time to
give back."

Stephanie Beck Williams New Video, "Not Your Normal Country
Girl," Debuts With Guest Appearance From The Dallas Cowboy
Cheerleaders
Nashville, TN (July 10, 2008)--Stephanie Beck Williams filmed her
new video, "Not Your Normal Country Girl," in Nashville, TN and in
Dallas, TX with a guest appearance from the world famous Dallas
Cowboy Cheerleaders. The video can be viewed at
www.stephaniebeckwilliams.com
When coming up with video plans, Williams thought it would be a
great idea to send her song to the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders
for consideration in her video. "Since this song was about country
girls who may be a little different I thought it would be fun to have the
Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders in the video with me," she said.
Williams followed through with her wild idea, sent the song to the
world famous organization and the rest is history.
The video, directed by Lou Chanatry, features Stephanie Beck
Williams in Nashville working as a talent agent and then in Dallas
performing with The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. "My journey as
an artist and professional singer has been anything but normal, so
getting to perform with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders just fits
perfectly," explains Williams.
Williams got her first break into the country genre last year as
millions voted her the lucky winner for CMT's Music City Madness
nationwide talent contest. Before the contest, her voice had been
heard as an ad-jingle singer on numerous national ad campaigns
like McDonald's ("Have You Had Your Break Today"), Toyota ("Life Is
a Highway") and other products. As a backup vocalist, she has
recorded with Dolly Parton, Isaac Hayes, Darryl Worley and other
celebrities. The award-winning independent film Folly Island
features four of her performances on its soundtrack.
On top of everything else she does, Williams recently began
working with Youth Villages; an organization that strives to brighten
the lives of foster children. As an adopted child herself, she felt the
need to do her part and give back. Williams sings as well as
teaches modeling to these children in hopes of building their
confidence levels.
