Gaining credibility over the years, Bill Basil, commonly known on the airwaves as DJ Billy the Kid, redrew the margins and strived to become one the most respected and sought after DJs from Chicago.

He was also a featured Dj at the prestigious Winter Music Conference in Miami 2004, 2006, and under his monkier in 2008 & 2009 with business partner Gus Calderone as "The House Moguls".
