    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.

    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.

    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!

    “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)”
