About Me


So I'm Billy, welcome to my page here on MySpace!
I'm currently recording an album of original songs called *VENT* for a October 18th 2009 release. This album covers such topics as racism, violence, love & relationships, the paparazzi, personal safety, growing up, self-medicating, religion, identity theft and the basic shape of our world and what we can do. There is something here for everyone. Some of the songs may make you go "yes!" and some may make you go "whoa!" Have a listen to the album sampler and let me know what you think.
It's called *VENT* , and I do.
I NEED YOUR HELP! I'm just one guy who wants to make the planet a little better place for my time here and my method of choice is song. Make me a friend. Tell your friends. Spread the word. A portion of all the profits from the sale of all merchandising (CDs, Books, Shirts, Downloads, etc) goes to charities; I'm really not in this just for me. Your support of me also goes back to supporting our world, something it desperately needs!
I'm just one man. I have one voice, but I now choose to use it.

Sounds Like:I don't know. I'm not trying to be anyone else. I'm not a singer, in fact I think my voice sounds like a cross between Cat Stevens and a mating elephant seal. I just write songs, and these days all it takes to turn the songs in your head into an mp3 that others can hear is just a little time and effort. I'm just me, I'm one guy with a little musical skill, a guitar, a keyboard, an accordion and a microphone. If you like my stuff, cool. If you don't, that's cool too. Have an opinion, take a stand, respect others, make a change, give people the benefit of the doubt and always just try to do your best; always.
What else really can you do?
