STORY
Billy is a Berliner who grew up in Italy. DJing was such a big deal in Italy in his childhood, they even named a radio station that way. He learned beatmatching vinyls at the age of 16. His mum was into Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream while his dad preferred Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer. Italo disco, HiNRG and a dig into progressive rock were great influences into his music skills and choices. Berlin then added techno and electro. Despite doing music production and occasional parties all his life, Billy started taking music business seriously only quite recently, in 2018. PREVIOUS GIGS
