About

Esa Williams is an artist, bandleader, and collaborator shaped by movement, culture, and connection. Moving between London, Glasgow, Cape Town and beyond, his sound blends Afro textures with a deep sensitivity to rhythm, space, and storytelling. A former resident at Sub Club, he developed a strong instinct for dancefloor energy, influenced by Detroit techno and Chicago house. Alongside leading his own band, he has toured and collaborated with artists including Ata Kak, Mim Suleiman, Ntombi Ndaba, and Kamazu. He has delivered Ableton courses, one-on-one sessions, and mentored artists through Future Bubblers. On Echio, Esa offers honest, intuitive feedback to help artists refine their sound, unlock new ideas, and grow in confidence.

Frequently asked questions

Music feedback

Esa records a private video breaking down your track — mix, arrangement, sound design, or whatever you ask them to focus on. It lands in your inbox and you can watch it whenever you want, as many times as you like.
Early sketches are often the most valuable to get feedback on, before you get lost in too many iterations — but finished tracks work too if you want a second opinion or to get on the artist’s radar.
MP3 or WAV, any length. Add a note and links when you upload so Esa knows exactly what to focus on.
Most feedback arrives within a few days. If Esa hasn’t responded within 7 days, you’re automatically refunded.
You can swap the track as long as Esa hasn’t listened yet. After that you can cancel the request for a refund and start a new one.
Yes — you send a private message on the feedback page and Esa will get your comment.
