About the author
Byron
"Big-Naz" Williams is the Best Selling Author of "Shady Bizzness' Life as Marshall Mathers'' Bodyguard
in an Industry of Paper Gangsters", a book which chronicles life on the road with controversial rap star Eminem during
his first tour, the 1999 "Slim Shady Tour." Although "Shady Bizzness" was Williams' first book, he
is no stranger to the written word of publication. With the release of "Shady Bizzness," Williams shattered many
of the common myths and stereotypes about bodyguards and proves to be a credible source on life in the music industry, based
upon his vast experience as a husband, business person, a bodyguard and an artist.
Williams is constantly being
referred to for marital and relationship advice from males and females, which prompted him to write his second book "WOMANIZER,
‘Thee Uncomfortable Truth about Men and Marriage." His ten years of marriage and strong family background qualifies
him in helping others with advice. WOMANIZER is a four-year project that was brought to life as he promoted his current published
book, "Shady Bizzness" (Manage Me Prod., LLC)
