His dad, Rickey Williams will perform on NBC's America's Got Talent.
When I hear that music it makes me want to jump up and push down," said Ricky Williams.
Williams plays in a band called Distinguished Men of Crass. The Tampa based band has made it far, they've advanced to New York City and will perform again tonight.

Williams plays the snare drums, which he's played since high school.
