Billy Nobel on SoundBetter

Hello! Thanks for stopping by my page. My name is Billy and I am a full time studio and touring keyboard player based in Nashville, TN. Currently I am playing keyboards and singing harmony vocals for country superstar Tim McGraw.

I grew up in Baltimore and went to college in Pittsburgh, where I studied piano performance and conducting at Carnegie Mellon University. A few years after graduating I made my way to Nashville, where I have been involved in session/studio work, live playing and touring as both a keyboard player and harmony vocal singer.

    Billy worked a miracle on a timeline for me. I know that it's not always possible, but I got lucky. Not only did he work a miracle, yet played some great tracks! Total magic for my client. A pro and extremely nice person. Great combo!

    My first impression of Billy is high professionalism and reliability.
    We were working on an accordion track for one of my demos and he followed my notes very closely. It felt very comfortable from the beginning on. I hope we can work on some future projects.

    I have worked with many pro keyboard players but Billy surpasses. Billy's keyboard tracks were done perfect for me. His style is superb. His response is fast. The turnaround on the work was right on time and sooner than expected. I will definitely be asking for his expertise again.

    Billy is very easy to work with, excellent communicator and wonderful pianist. He went above and beyond what was required! Unfortunately there's no option to give more than five stars!

    I have been so thrilled with the contributions Billy has made to the 4 tracks he's played on for me. And, I've been amazed that he fit me into his schedule so quickly. His keys really were the special touch these songs needed. He caught the direction these songs were going and added just the right keyboard parts.

    I was very fortunate to have Billy record another session and on short notice, despite his very busy schedule.
    He was able to deliver an incredible track beyond mine and the artist's expectations.

    Billy played on three of our songs today and did an outstanding job giving these new songs life. His interpretation and creativity with the songs were first-class. It was a pleasure to work with him.
