Her infectious energy combined with solid and accurate rhythm makes her a stand-out musician.
Take a look around to see what Rhii has been up to!
LITTLE THIEF
Formed in Bristol by Charlie Fitzgerald and Rhii Williams from the ashes of former project Bombs, 2015 saw the awakening of Little Thief. With a decade of creativity together under their belt, the arrival of Paul Hopkins on bass saw this ground shaking pair grow to an earth shattering triad.
Known for their intense and visceral live performance, from their inception Little Thief have refined their sound in the live environment. In addition to selling out headline shows across Bristol, the band has become a staple on the festival circuit, playing at Glastonbury and Liverpool Sound City among others. The massive riffs, thumping drums and soulful vocals invariably create a raucous atmosphere that captivates audiences.
Sometimes gritty and jagged, and at other times smooth and soulful, Little Thief’s brand of alternative rock defines itself. Lyrical themes cover ground from serial killers to the fleeting nature of beauty, Fitzgerald’s dark, unguarded sense of humour always exploring, and embracing the messiness of being human.
RACHEL K COLLIER
Rhii has been playing percussion with Welsh, electronic music producer and performer Rachel K Collier since 2017. They have toured extensively worldwide- selling out shows at SXSW USA, ADE Amsterdam, BBC Radio 1's Biggest Weekend and Koko London.
Upcoming shows are currently put on hold, but they will be back performing together soon!

LIPSTIX
Female Drum Troup
The Lipstix is the UK’s newest and most original female drum-led show. With Vicky O Neon at the helm of this powerhouse troupe of girls, this is an act to watch and be astounded by. Formed over the last 3 years of the touring show SLAM!, the girls bring not only award winning drum skills but guitar shredding, fire breathing and street tap to take this show to the next level. Mixing contemporary nods to pop music classics and original hard hitting beats this pulse racing show is a perfectly formed cabaret that can open any event or be the finale to an awards show.
TEACHER
Rhii found her love for teaching back in 2010, when she began a three-year journey teaching at primary schools. Not only inspiring youngsters with drum kit and grooves, Rhii delved into taiko, steel pan, samba and african styles in whole-class sessions, and still teaches with Chango Music during her summers.
She is currently a private tutor in Bristol, and loves taking on youngsters who are in need of some inspiration and encouragement on their drumming journey!
