2008 Juno Award winner Billy Newton-Davis Play Records recording artist is on Fire!
International singing superstar, Billy Newton-Davis, has been one of Canada’s premier entertainers for over 25 years. His roots were firmly planted at the age of 5 at a Baptist church in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio where he learned to sing gospel music. His first professional gig was as a backing vocalist for Gloria Gaynor. He then later performed on Broadway in the hit show “Bubblin Brown Sugar”. He also appeared in the Broadway production of “Stop the World I want To Get Off” starring Sammy Davis Jr.
His debut album, Love Is a Contact Sport included the songs “Deeper”,
‘Right Beside You,’ and ‘Find My Way Back,’ and won Billy Newton-Davis the 1986 Juno award for best R&B/Soul recording and most promising male vocalist. His 1989 follow-up, Spellbound, included his most successful single ‘I Can’t Take It,’ as well as ‘Can’t Live with You’ (a duet with Celine Dion), and won the 1989 Juno award as best R&B/Soul recording.
In 1991, Billy joined The Nylons and enjoyed a successful stretch performing and touring with the world-renowned singing group. Since leaving The Nylons, he has primarily concentrated on song writing and live jazz and gospel performances. Billy was a guest vocalist on the ‘Seekers Dialogue’ series with internationally acclaimed author and lecturer Marianne Williamson.
Billy Newton-Davis has extensively donated his talent towards humanitarian causes, raising money for various communities, AIDS awareness, Actors Equity, housing for people with mental illness and countless other charities and causes. Billy puts his heart first: “I want the world to know that I am sincere. I love what I do and I want to bring that sincerity to my fans when I perform.”
