About Me

 

 

Karla Williams is Electric Harpist who plays Gospel, Jazz  and Latin Music. She has learned valuable skills and ways of interpreting the harp from her current Musical Mom-- Latin Jazz harpist Patrice Fisher of the Band Arpa. of whom I would have not been where I am now due to her patience, guidance and just unspeakable level of mentoring and coaching.
