Six years ago when she entered the Jamaica Gospel Song competition Treisha Williams had one intention.

“I had a message that was timely. The song One Dose of the Holy Ghost came at the appropriate time, and I wanted to share that message,” Williams told the Jamaica Observer on Thursday.

She had previously entered the competition and got as far as the semi-finals.

“My decision to re-enter came after years of perseverance. Winning the competition opened doors for greater visibility, interviews, performances, and it also expanded the digital reach of my music locally and internationally,” Williams shared.

Today, Williams is gearing up for the completion of her album, which is earmarked for release later this year.

She has started the momentum for that full-length project with the release of the song Jump.

“Jump was inspired by a season of gratitude and spiritual reflection. The song encourages believers to express their faith boldly and joyfully, reminding them that praise is not passive; it is active, energetic, and filled with expectation. Sometimes you just have to move in faith. When you think about God’s goodness, you can’t stay still,” said Williams.

Jump was released on February 6.

Williams’s journey in gospel music has been one of persistence, growth, and obedience.

Long before her national win, she was writing songs, poetry, directing drama productions, and mentoring young creatives. In addition to being a gospel artiste, she is a teacher of over 23 years and has led her school to multiple national awards in Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC) Festival competitions. Her poetry has also received several national accolades.Williams said her relationship with God remains the foundation of her music and life. Every song she releases reflects her faith and desire to uplift others.

Following her 2020 breakthrough she continued recording songs such as Lift Up Your Vessels to Jesus, Forward, True Love, and God’s Gonna Fix It.

Originally from Pitfour St, James, Williams pursued tertiary studies at Sam Sharpe Teachers’ College and later at the International University of the Caribbean, balancing her academic achievements with her creative calling.

For her forthcoming album — which Williams describes as deeply personal and spiritually uplifting — she remains committed to creating music that glorifies God and inspires people to move boldly in faith.
