Even though Billy is a Kansas native, he has been inspired by the music coming out of Texas long before he finally arrived. He has been an active member in Austin’s music scene for the last decade from leading to supporting multiple bands from various genres. Blended in from experiences throughout his career, his main passion is songwriting. Although like most, he tries to listen to a wide variety of music but you’ll find names like Todd Snider, John Prine, and Leonard Cohen that remain on the weekly playlists. Listening to these singer songwriter idols, has allowed him to channel an internal perspective that seems to relate with the audience in an intimate way. It is through the vulnerable connection with the listener that brings the most joy and keeps him sharing.
