Best described as a modern-day music-maker, Billy has been steadily gaining steam in the music industry as an artist and music producer.
‘‘There's nothing I’m more passionate about than the transformation of an idea into a song.”
Similar to many musicians out there, his love for music started at a very young age growing up on records by the likes of Tina Turner, The Jackson 5, Simon and Garfunkel and The Carpenters to name a few. His rebellious teenage years were expressed by listening to 80s rock and metal bands and eventually discovered jazz and blues during college.
While attending Berklee College of Music, he developed a keen interest in music production and engineering. It became his mission to play the guitar on as many student projects as possible to learn and study the process. It is with great fortune that these students became mentors, pushing him to become a better recording guitarist, as well as teaching him all about the studio gear and maintenance.
Following graduation, Billy left Boston, MA and moved to Nashville, TN with a plan to take the city by storm with his band mate with whom they formed The Hypnopompics. He continued honing his craft as a music producer and performer by writing, recording demos and playing gigs with the band. After releasing two original songs, the band, unfortunately, split up leading up to Billy’s move to London in January 2014.
Between 2014 and 2019, Billy has been an active member of London’s music industry taking on roles of a solo artist, session musician and music producer. He has collaborated with a variety of artists, performing shows in and around the London area, as well as providing music production services such as mixing and mastering. Performance venues include The Dorchester Hotel, Borderline, The Troubadour and NEC Birmingham Arena. Not long after moving to London in 2014, Billy made his debut appearance as a solo artists with his self-produced single release titled “Way Back Home”. Since the release of that track, it has been featured in a summer fashion segment on ITV’s This Morning and on BBC Introducing London.
In October 2018, Billy released a long-awaited EP titled, “Choices We Make”. Produced at The Crypt Studios and his own personal home studio, the four-track EP perpetuates the organic instrumental rawness of “Way Back Home" with soothing emotional vocals and elegant production capturing the emotions and experiences I’ve had with music.
Billy’s sole aim is to create music that connects with audiences and stimulate emotions through soulful storytelling and production. He continues to produce original music and help other musicians bring their musical visions to life as a producer and mix engineer.
