Kat William Legacy Session - Virtuous

Virtuous (born Kia Rice) is an Asheville-based performing artist, songwriter, and creative storyteller whose music serves as a vibrant, melodic bridge between faith, hope, and identity. With a signature genre-defying sound that seamlessly blends Hip Hop, Soul, and Pop with the rhythmic energy of AfroPop and Funk, Virtuous creates an unforgettable experience designed to uplift and inspire.
A seasoned creator with seven projects to her name—including her latest album, The Good Things—Virtuous brings an authentic, soul-stirring presence to the stage. Beyond her work as a recording artist, she is deeply committed to community engagement. As a dedicated songwriting teacher, she fosters spaces for youth and adults to explore self-discovery through creativity, and through "Virtuous Fitness," she utilizes the power of dance to promote holistic wellness.
Whether through her music, her songwriting workshops, or her movement-based fitness classes, Virtuous is dedicated to empowering individuals to connect, grow, and express their own authentic voice.
The Kat Williams Legacy Sessions is a monthly gathering rooted in music, connection, and community—a living continuation of Kat’s vision to uplift, showcase, and sustain the voices of soul artists she believed in. Created in her honor, the series carries forward what she set in motion: a space where soul music is not only heard, but deeply felt and shared.
Each session brings together powerful voices, raw talent, and a spirit of collaboration, curated alongside Anne Coombs to reflect Kat’s passion and authenticity. More than a performance, the Legacy Sessions are a promise kept—an ongoing celebration of the artists, sound, and community she loved so deeply.
