"Deniece Williams is not Jazze Pha's mom. While chatting about the pending release of her first R&B album in
more than 10 years, the Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter wants to clear up a misconception she has
been hearing and reading the past two years.
'I applaud him and his success,' Williams says of Pha, who has produced hits by Ciara and others. 'But he is not
my son.'

For the record confirmed by Pha's dad, Bar-Kays member James Alexander the confusion surfaced because
his son's mother shares the same name as the singing Williams."

"Jazze Pha has been surrounded by music all his life. His father is James Alexander, bass guitarist for the Bar
Kays. His mother, Denise Williams, is an accomplished singer, having worked with everyone from Earth, Wind,
and Fire to Barbra Streisand. But she is not the same Deniece Williams that R&B fanatics have come to know and
love. 'Yea man straighten that out,' he says, referring to the belief that his mother is the legendary singer."
