A soulful singer songwriter, Billy is as comfortable
entertaining a crowd with just his voice and
acoustic guitar as he is with a full band behind
him. He uses humor and wit to communicate to
his audiences, keeping them fully engaged
during his performances. In his music you can
hear the influences of such diverse artists as
John Mayer, Otis Redding, James Taylor, Mat
Kearney, Ben Harper, Van Morrison, Dave
Matthews, Aretha Franklin, Bill Withers, and Ray
Lamontagne, to name a few.
A St. Augustine, Florida resident, Billy describes
his music as a blend of “concrete and dirt". He
explains, “I was raised in Cleveland, Ohio, but my
family was originally from Georgia, and brought a
lot of that culture with them. I would hear pop, hip-
hop, and dance music on the street; but at home,
and at my grandparents' houses, I would hear
soul, gospel, and country. It all rubbed off on me".
A consummate professional, Billy has shared the
stage with some amazing artists; including,
Shawn Mullins, David Ryan Harris (John Mayer’s
guitarist), KC and The Sunshine Band, G. Love
and Special Sauce, Funky Meters, Jennifer
Nettles (Sugarland), and Morris Day and The
Time, to name a few. Billy’s album, Transparent,
is available at many digital music retailers. The
songs “The Here and Now” and “New Day” are
standout tracks. He’s currently in the studio
working on his forthcoming album, Hold On.
