My dad, Grandfather (the late great Billy King), uncle Frank, Uncle Ray, my kids, your kids and other great pop/rock music form the 70's and 80's like the Beatles, Kiss, Men at Work, Kraftwerk, Klaatu, Yes, Nirvana, Harry Chapin, Weird Al (oh, yeah!), Van Halen, MTV, TV shows (like Star Trek and saturday morning cartoons), games...you know...the stuff that still makes me feel like a kid.
Sounds Like
Did you ever wonder what it would sound like if Neil Young, ZZ Top, the B-52’s and Smashmouth were locked up together in recording studio and told they couldn’t come out until they recorded a bunch of fun, award wining, educational songs for kids?
Probably not, but if they ever did...it would sound a lot like MR. BILLY!
Mr. Billy began playing guitar and writing his own songs when he was only 9 years old. He has toured all across the USA and Canada. His unique rock and roll style has a contemporary sound that kids (and parents) instantly relate to. At a Mr. Billy show, everyone gets into the act. His presentations are always upbeat, interactive, educational and just plain fun!
Mr. Billy has been repeatedly voted “Northeastern Wisconsin’s Family Favorite Children’s Entertainer”; His original CDs are iParenting and CMW national award winners. In 2006 two of his original songs placed in the top twenty in the Unisong International Songwriting Competition.
When he’s not on tour or writing and recording his own music, Mr. Billy guides elementary school students in the composition and recording of their own original songs at his ground breaking “Six-Trait Songwriting” Artist in Residency program. He also contributes regular columns to “Pass it On” (journal of International Organization “The Children’s Music Network) and other children’s/parenting magazines. He regularly performs at over 300 schools, libraries, festivals and special events each year, including a regular headlining appearance at Wisconsin’s largest Kids Expo held in Madison.
