About Me

-BazillionSongs is the primary musical project of Paul Willaert, a veteran of the Chicago music scene. It originated as an "all-covers" one-man-band, featuring Paul taking requests throughout the entire show. Playing his beloved guitar, "Parker", and singing over backing tracks he arranged, performed, and recorded himself, the song catalog has grown to well over 200 songs. While the one-man-band act is still the biggest part of BazillionSongs, the business has now expanded to include Willaert's songwriting, outside projects, and new acts that can also be booked via www.bazillionsongs.com. This myspace page was created to allow you to see and hear "BZS"s acts, past, present, and even future - enjoy!
