Billy Winn is a multitalented singer, songwriter, artist, and performer whose independently-released singles, “Ferocious” and “Tonight Is Our Last” have gained a remarkable following over the last year. Growing up as a singer, dancer, actor, and writer in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, Billy made the decision to become a recording artist at the age of twelve—influenced by music videos, and the music of Janet Jackson and Prince. He initiated his pursuit by attending the performing arts schools in his hometown, writing songs, and performing in talent competitions and professional theatre. After high school, he moved to Washington, DC where he began working as a backup singer, before becoming a member of the Neo-Soul outfit, Auteur—a group that made a considerable impact on the DC club circuit before disbanding in 2010. That same year, Billy teamed up with producer, Raynier “L Blayze” Hodnett and recorded the single, “Ferocious,” earning an incredible response at internet radio. He followed up with the song “Tonight Is Our Last,” gaining him further attention in anticipation of his full-length project—tentatively scheduled for a late 2011 release. Billy describes his musical sound as, “a hybrid of Pop music,” combining his lyrics and Pop melodies with Electronic, Dance, Rock, and New Wave. He notes his influences as Prince, Aaliyah, Kanye West, Daft Punk, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Timbaland, The Postal Service, and Mary J. Blige.
