Sounds Like: “Precociously gifted.” Shawn Conner of the Georgia Straight

“One of Canada’s rising stars.” - Fritz Francois of See Magazine

"Prolific and incredibly talented." - Gerry Krochak of the Leader-Post

“Billy is a DIY poster girl.” - Chad Hucalak of Vue Weekly

"Always stood apart from the pack with true street-level integrity, an almost Mennonitish indie-rock work ethic and outstanding musicianship." - Ferdy Belland of the Nerve Magazine

"With her popularity spreading and in no sign of waning, her many musical endeavours are beginning to pay off and no one deserves it more. After a chat with this winsome pixie, it would be difficult to dislike her." - Chris Courtice of the Gauntlet Magazine

"I bought her independently produced CD on the spot and have been trying to find out as much as I can about her because I know she is going to be huge one day soon." Jason Daniel Baker of Canoe Live

"One of the best female guitarists I've ever met." - Ryan LaFlamme from the Daily Nar

"(Billy)'s the kind of thorough, do-it-yourself poster girl that will go to hell and back in order to put out a good record." - Lisa Schindel of Beatroute Magazine

"Bespectacled singer/songwriter and D.I.Y. poster girl Billy the Kid possesses an impressive arsenal, including an enchanting voice, strong musicianship, and well-crafted tunes. Expect Billy to wear her heart on her (tattooed) sleeves." - A Lawyer

“If you need any inspiration to keep your New Year’s Resolution “I shall cast off the shackles of procrastination and actually do something with myself...” look no further than a young lady who goes by the name of Billy the Kid.” – Chartattack
