Classically trained at the prestigious Royal College of Music in London, and playing since the age of just 6, Billy is an award winning Anglo-Brazilian instrumental guitarist.
Inspired by Rodrigo y Gabriela, Tommy Emmanuel & Mike Oldfield, his musical style and Latin roots fuse the genres of Flamenco & Classical with Rock & Pop.
In 2016, aged just 14, he reached the grand final of ‘Guitar Star’ – a guitar based talent show open to all ages for Sky Arts TV, which was broadcast worldwide. Billy stunned audiences with some extraordinary performances – for judges and mentors including George Benson, Black Sabbath legend Tony Iommi, and David Bowie’s producer Tony Visconti – who described him as ‘a little genius’.
