Ms. Williams has been singing since she was very young. Having piano lessons from the age of 5, she started taking voice lessons at 14. While still a teenager she fell in love with early music, listening to the local radio stations.

She graduated from Oakland University in Michigan with a B.M. in Early Music, then went on to Stanford to get her A.M. degree in Early Music. Since then Doris has enjoyed the musical scene of the Bay Area, singing with professional choirs, teaching private piano and voice, and performing as a soloist in churches and other venues. Doris performs also on tin whistle and recorder, and accompanies herself on an 8-course lute. She is currently active singing Celtic, Renaissance and Jazz music with her friends at various local venues.

Doris also entertains children with her singing puppets and stories, including Donald Duck in Noah's Ark, Fozzie Bear in the Singing Act Gone Wrong, and Daniel Tiger.
