The 1970s were a “wasteland of bad relationships, dead-end retail jobs and disco”. The ‘80s brought Billy to Los Angeles, where he found himself in the film industry, working as a casting director on films such as Colors and Above the Law. He has since cast hundreds of films, commercials and music videos. The ‘90s marked Billy’s return to music, through songwriting, performing and recording.
Today, Billy continues casting in Los Angeles. He plays in a blues band with ex-Mike Bloomfield sideman, Gashouse Dave Shorey, and composes soundtracks for film and theatre. The New Millennium ushers in a new chapter in his creative endeavors; Whispering Lunacies is his first book.
Billy lives in Glendale, California with his two adopted cats from hell, Fender and Blackie.view less
