Billy D was born in Burnley. At the age of eight he picked up his Dad's guitar and he was taught how to play Wild Thing. His Mum and Dad encouraged him to play and perform as much as possible. At the age of eleven, he was entering talent shows at caravan parks and local events such as the Nelson Star Quest where he came third. Billy performed songs by Oasis, The Kinks, Robbie Williams and other popular favourites. After passing GCSEs, he progressed to Burnley College for a BTEC National Diploma in Music Practice. It was whilst being on the course he started to gig using backing tracks. He soon became recognised in the local area as Billy D. Following the BTEC course, he progressed to Preston University where he earned a BA Honours Degree in Contemporary Music. Billy has also built up his own mobile recording studio, (Intimestudio.co.uk) where he records and edits his own material as well as regularly recording other artist and bands. Over the years he has built up a selection of songs that can suit most audiences and is currently working at venues across the UK, but is willing to travel anywhere in the world to play. He can perform at any venue self contained with backing tracks or can perform acoustic set if required. Billy is a young and talented guitar vocalist who always gives 110% on stage playing electric/acoustic guitar and singing classic hits from the last 4 decades
