Billy Michaels

Billy has returned to his singing (March 2010.) He has become, once again, VERY in demand! :)



BILLY IS A GOOD MAN to know, and be around. He is charming, affable, extremely helpful, and generous, and at times VERY funny, and will talk on any 'subject' you wish to. He is an 'avid' student of 'Philosophy' and is very 'learned' about life in general. A GREAT PERSON to discuss your 'views' with.
Billy has had many ACCOLADES bestowed upon him by ‘STELLAR' performers and 'STAR' names concerning his 'Vocal' ability as he is very highly rated in the singing fraternity. His most SUCCESSFUL RECORD SALES (Chart success) were in Countries such as Germany, Spain and South Africa. Some of these recordings are still being sort after and are available on the web under the name he used in the early days. He toured extensively on the CONTINENT as well as Canada and America playing some of the 'FINEST ROOMS' in these Countries, and of course, the UK. Billy has met and sung with many of the 'TOP' names in the business, and appeared as a 'Guest' on TV and Stage shows alongside them. You can find stories of some meetings on his MAIN WEBSITE www.billymichaelssings.com so take a look :) He was originally trained as a 'classical' singer, but decided early that this 'genre' was not really the one he wanted to persue. Billy went from 'POP' to his now 'JAZZ' style of the 40s/50s on a chance meeting with BOBBY DARIN (at a recording session NY) and later JOHNNY MATHIS. HIS SUCCESSES on PYE, POLYDOR and PAGE ONE RECORDS (1967 to late 70s) are still around (not Billy Michaels) under his 'earlier' stage name.
His SUCCESS in the past is something he acknowledges. He 'retired' from 'music' as such, and recording in the 1980s, and went into business. From there he went to ACTING SCHOOL. He was 'coaxed' back into singing by a WELL KNOWN BAND LEADER in 2004.
Working with 'LIVE' musicians is what Billy likes to do best. When he can, he performs with JAZZ COMBOS, and occasionally; BIG BANDS. MUSICIANS/ETC can CONTACT HIM at www.billymichaelssings.com or berdoe@yahoo.com or PLUG-IN STUDIOS on 0161-866-8566.
PRIVATE FUNCTIONS and Charity work (of which the majority are by invitation only) are his main work at this time. He is being featured on RADIO in Britain and WORLDWIDE (approx 32 Countries) at this time, with success.
Billy is WITHOUT A DOUBT, one of the FINEST SINGERS in his field. He is also a talented ACTOR, with STAGE appearances, TV dramas, and FILM 'character' roles to his credit, working for MAJOR COMPANIES in the UK. He enjoys this work and continues it along with his singing.
****** Billy is now 'MENTORING' other singers' at their request. One is JOHN-ERIC BOOTH an extremely talented young singer from West Virginia in the USA who is the 'featured' singer in sessions with THE PAT LONGO BIG BAND in HOLLYWOOD. Billy has considerable skill in the 'tutoring' area, and requests for his time are still being applied for.
******HIS CD "TRIBUTE" ALBUM IS OUT NOW! BUY IT FROM www.billymichaelssings.com Take a look!! BILLY may be changing RECORD LABELS soon, so watch out for this news!!! The information content here is very up to date, as of October 2010.
****** This 'blurb' was compiled by BEN BLEASE of 'PLUG-IN' PRODUCTION STUDIOS Manchester, and acknowleged by Mr Michaels. I am a RECORDING ENGINEER/PRODUCER and I have worked Billy's 'recordings' to date. I enjoy recording with this man as he is a great 'first take' artist. I find him the 'consumate' performer and one of the easiest of singers to work with.
