"The singer is Billie Ray Martin and shes one of the living legends in modern music history and one of the best voices on planet earth." DJ HELL

Billie Ray Martin is the thinking mans diva, never being afraid to take a chance and push forward. Dean Thatcher

Dubbed the Queen of electronic soul, Billie Ray Martin first came to prominence leading the acclaimed deep house act Electribe 101, her unique voice hitting the house scene as well as the charts with a serious infusion of soul.

Electribe 101 scored a series of hits including the classic Talking With Myself before Billie moved on to continue exploring fusions of electronic music and soul. After releasing the thoroughly scary Persuasion with Spooky and the monumentally beautiful Four Ambient Tales with The Grid, Billie found herself with a worldwide number one in Your Loving Arms, now regarded as one of the all-time classics of dance music. Three more hits and the album Deadline for My Memories followed, allowing Billie to tour extensively.

Since then Billie has worked with Ann Peebles and Carla Thomas, as well as Al Greens and Aretha Franklin's musicians on her album "18 Carat Garbage", developing and to a point perfecting her dream of Memphis meets Berlin.

She followed this with a series of acclaimed singles and collaborations from her own Dead Again and No Brakes On My Rollerskates to Je Regrette Everything with DJ Hell on his album 'NY Muscle' and Bright Lights Fading with Scottish duo Slam, resulting in an abundance of renewed media praise and dance chart entries.

In 2006 Billie starting taking to the decks with the launch of her own London clubnight Komputerliebe, which she has since re-launched in different cities, such as Frankfurt whenever she feels like it. As DJ, Billie delivers a distinctive and spot-on set of cutting-edge Tech-House, Emotional Techno, House and Nu-NRG laden Electro. The growing response to her DJing has led to bookings taking her across the globe.

Billie is currently working on her new solo album, which she describes as the ultimate pop-fest with more than a cutting-edge twist and the aim is a release in 2010. The first single Undisco Me, a Moroder-feast released on Rebirth, hit the UK dance charts top 5 and the Billboard top 20, receiving an overload of praise and plays.

Photographed twice by Wolfgang Tillmans, he listed her as one of the 100 most influential women in ID-Magazine.

Billie and Robert Solheim have formed a new project under the banner of The Opiates. They have finished recording the album Hollywood Under The Knife to be released on Billie's Disco Activisto label in May 2010.. With a rare match of songwriting and cutting-edge beats and bleeps, they have already been dubbed the Carpenters of electro. The Opiates made their live debut at Rough Trade, Brick Lane, London in March 2008, to coincide with their first release Anatomy Of A Plastic Girl E.P to much praise and support from the press.

DJ Hell and Billie have teamed up again to add the icing on the cake to his new album Teufelswerk. Their cover version of Hawkwinds Silver Machine (only available on the Japanese release) has been praised by many as a more than worthy follow-up to their previous collaboration on the BRM-penned Je Regrette Everything.

15 February 2010 will see the release of Billies "The Crackdown Project" featuring Stephen Mallinder from Cabaret Voltaire, Lusty Zanzibar and Maertini Broes. Featuring her takes on CV classics The Crackdown and Just Fascination, The Crackdown is produced by top Berlin tech-house act Maertini Broes and brings Billie back to her cutting-edge house music roots. Meanwhile, the UKs finest Nu-Disco producer Lusty Zanzibar helms Just Fascination, a no-holds-barred epic groove fest with a Balearic touch. A multitude of remixes from Europes electro elite confirm her vision.

DJing continues to be a priority throughout the year and a new solo single will be released in the spring 2010.
