Billy gets his influences from New York and the wonderful mixture of music there, St. Thomas (having many relatives there), and the Orient (he is a long time student of the Martial Arts, a 3rd degree black belt, and spent a few tours in Japan.) Born the first son of a recording doo-wop artist for Mercury Records, who performed as Billy Austin. A page dedicated to him is in the works. His dad had a studio in New York and encouraged Billy Jr. to come by as much as he wanted to. He tried to play every instrument, persisting until he "got some kind of music out of it." Billy Jr remembers Billy Sr , and all that he taught him. At four years old Billy Jr was playing congas so well that his dad went and bought him a trap drum set. From there Billy played Bass, and then Guitar. He likes to play about any instrument now. Playing real and midi instruments, with his own vocals, and other artists here and there, Billy has created the songs you hear on this page. Tish, his engineer and wife, has co-written a few of the songs, contributing midi key board instruments, and lyrics to Caribbean Sea, Danzar, Pour Mon Pere', and a few others. Billy and Tish use Garageband for recording and mixing, and an Apple Macintosh computer in their home studio.
