A Little About Me
I went to Gonazaga College High school in Washington DC and
I graduated from Loyola College in Maryland in 2004 with a BA in business.
After college I got a job as a project management associate at the University
of Maryland. After 6 months of working I was extremely unhappy with my job
and I decided to pursue my passion MUSIC .
In June of 2005 I went into the studio and cut my five song EP "Made You Smile"
which garnered rave reviews and radio play. Satisfied with my decision to
be a musician I went back into the studio in January of 2006 and finished
my first studio album "Two Steps Closer." In the past four months I have won
two national contests with my song "Die For You" , I have signed with an agent
who is currently shopping me to record labels, attended and performed at a
music awards ceremony, performed at various venues up and down the east coast,
and have my songs being considered for TV and Film placements. Hopefully In
a couple of months you'll hear me in your favorite TV show.
The best way to get in touch with me is through email. Please send me an email
at [email protected] .
Also you can IM me if you'd like. My screenname is billyredfield .
I encourage you to tell me a little about yourself as well. Most artists/bands
have no connection with their fan base. I think this is ridiculous because
its the FANS that make the band. Without FANS your music will get you nowhere.
So PLEASE introduce yourself to me and I
WILL get back to you!

Billy Redfield is a memorable talent on a music scence that features enough quality songwriters to make it easy to get lost in the shuffle and he proves it on his debut full length album Two Steps Closer.Having assembled an impressive studio production team including Chris Keup and Stewart Myers and a talented crop of studio musicians including Mark Goldenberg, Max Fisher, Brian Jones, Daniel Clarke, and J.C Kohl, Redfield proceeded to create an album of understated modern pop that puts a sepecial emphasis on mood and emotion. I'm not sure what it means, but two of the standout tracks on Two Steps Closer are both named after women. Although "Amy" and "Miss Melissa" have that fact in common, the similarities end there. "Amy" is a shimmering and concise pop gem with a radio friendly hook, while "Miss Melissa" is a moody and subdued six minute rumination on lost love. Featuring haunting lines like, "And I am am losing my mind / And I can't stop rembering all the good times" and a perfect sax accompaniment from Kohl that brings to mind the amazing Virginia band Agents of Good Roots, "Miss Melissa" is easily the best track on the album.With an outstanding debut album under his belt and with national accolades pouring in from places like the Independent Music Network and XM Satelitte Radio, things are looking very good for Billy Redfield. -Greg Yost, Music Monthly
Jamestown Music Billy Redfield/Made You Smile This album is full of stories with intrinsic lyrics and underlying lessons. With a subtle pop/folk delivery, Billy's style harnesses an excellent blend of acoustic strums and smooth backing electric leads. Throw a steady beat, and a few perfectly planed piano licks into the mix, and you've got "Made You Smile". After already spending some time at ..2 on the Awarestore charts, you can expect big things from Billy Redfield. -Jamestown Music
