Capone, born Jack Williams, is a Southern Soul Blues artist based in Little Rock, Arkansas. Originally from Chicago, Illinois, he began his musical journey at an early age alongside his childhood friend Sylvester “Earl” Powell. The two met in the 6th grade while playing in the Sumner Elementary School band—Capone on trombone and Earl on trumpet. By the early 1980s, they had joined a neighborhood rap/singing group called CMS, where they became the group’s primary musicians, DJs, and songwriters. Their creativity and production skills quickly set them apart, helping CMS dominate talent shows across Chicago.
