About Me

YO HO when in Cleveland, be sure to stop by and see our friends at Fat Fish Blue. The Best Food and Music in downtown Cleveland...on the corner of Ontario and Prospect right by the Indians Stadium... www.fatfishblue.com Tell em' DJ BILLY from Put-In-Bay sent you for ??? more coming soon........ This is how I became "PIBDJBILLY". I began my career at age 13 with a homeade fake I.D. that stated I was 14 to gain entry into the Sunday teen night at "Squirell's" nightclub. After a Sunday or two, I began hanging out by the DJ booth and a short time later I was allowed to hang out inside the DJ booth. Shortly after, I believe the DJ began to let me stay in the booth by myself while he went to the bathroom. I think at one point he let me put the needle on the record a few times which planted the seed that started it all. Several years later "Players" nightclub had the hot Sunday teen night. I remember standing there and watching the DJ every weekend(he never let me in the booth)and wanting to be "that guy". Around the time I was 17 "Pulsations" opened up, this was the old Squirell's and the actual "career" began. For about a year and a half, I learned the trade from DJ Dave West. The Pulsations period was short lived due to poor management so I began hanging around my brothers rock band who was playing pretty steady at Nick's Roadhouse. I gave Nick a good bullshit story of how I was a "pro" DJ, but I still really didn't know much. Nick finally agreed to let me play there for 3 thursday nights which eventually turned into an 11 year stint. In there, I did play a few gigs in Sandusky Ohio at a club called Nitelight for a few years. Around 1998 I began getting my foot in the door on the Island of Put-In-Bay but it was slow going. Nick and I had a falling out and I finally got my big break at Mr. Ed's bar and grill on PIB. This gig was on and off and I landed at the Skyway full time which was the late night bar. I did daytime shows at Mr. Ed's and night time shows at the Skyway. I began doing Ed's on the mainland in the winter and this led into talks with Ed's partner Mark who was building the PIB Resort. Mark and I decided I would come on board to be the full time house entertainer. This began in the summer of 05. The 08 season will be my 8th year on the island earning me the title as the longest running DJ on the Island of Put-In-Bay. This is how I bacame the "PIBDJ" PIBDJBILLY Put-In-Bay where it's OK to be an IDIOT !
