Over the course of several solo instrumental releases and a seemingly never-ending barrage of collaborative albums, Billy has been innovating a new cutting-edge style merging the classic sounds and aesthetics of smooth jazz, funk, and 00’s RnB with the fast-paced drums and thumping 808s that form the bedrock of the modern Detroit / Flint sound. He photographs the culture and music scene around the midwest, and directs and edits music videos. He maintains his love for performing live too, he DJs (vinyl and digital) around Detroit and had a residency, ‘Smooth Water Sound,’ @ Hi Note in the East Village of New York City. Billy aims to be an authentic mainstay in an emerging scene of producers, open format DJs and tastemakers.
