Billy was friendly and professional and did exactly what I requested. I would definitely recommend him for your projects, he's awesome!
I’ve known Billy in the music industry for 2 decades now. He helped me develop my early song writing and was able to format our band into something special. He’s in it to win it and a team player on all accounts. I’ve seen him devoted and keep the longevity of his vocal abilities while never losing his soul and passion in this music industry. I believe in his abilities and what he’ll do in years to come!
Billy helped my band take our raw unpolished songs and create a great album. While working with Billy I was really impressed with his ability to take what he is given and make it the best it can possibly be. His honestly and musical taste will serve anyone looking to take their productions to the next level. Billy has great taste when arranging tracks. Billy will help any artist, musician, songwriter create songs they will be proud of.
Billy took a bunch of raw unpolished songs and helped my band create an album. I’ve always appreciated Billy’s honesty and dedication in taking what he is given and making It the absolute best he can! Billy has great taste when arranging songs. He brings a wealth of experience to help any artist, songwriter, musician produce projects they will take pride in.
I have known Billy for over a decade! He helped me get started in the music industry in the Florida area, and as a result, I got to play live gigs with him, record in the studio with him acting as engineer in multi instrumentalist, and I also cut 2 of his original songs on my first EP. I can say nothing but good things about Billy‘s professionalism and ability to perform various genres of music well. He strives to do the best job that possible, no matter the project and he puts soul and taste into whatever he touches. Hire him! You won’t regret it.
I have witnessed Billy doing some fine work in the studio; he has a vision of what will work and how to make it happen. He is capable of getting stellar sounds from whatever equipment he has available, and of coaxing good performances from other instrumentalists and vocalists, as well as coming up with well-executed parts of his own.
I’ve worked with Billy for over a decade now. He’s a true pro, a versatile songwriter, and a super-creative artist. An utmost pleasure to work with.
Billy is an amazingly talented artist, singer, song-writer, and musician both in and out of the studio. He is able to entertain any audience, but the best thing is that he is sincere and his heart goes in to all he does. I’ve loved working with him throughout the years both in the studio and on the stage in live shows!
Billy Buchanan is an authentic and original creative force. A melody craftsman with a wealth of experience spanning over several decades. I highly recommend Billy B for all things music ❤️
“I’ve worked with a lot of music professionals and band leaders in my drumming career, and rarely have I encountered an individual possessing more appetite for musical excellence; more discipline as an artist; and more inspiration as a human being. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for the wisdom, tutelage, and care of my long-time friend and mentor Billy Buchanan. - Tom Knight (TLC, Monica, Voice Over Emmy Winner)”
