In 2005, under Stay Humble Music, he released his first full length LP "Lessons" as a member of The Big Hurt. That album currently has sales in Australia, Japan, Canada, The US and The UK.
Billy has shared the stage with national artists such as Toot's and the Maytals, Long Beach Shortbus (Sublime & Long Beach Dub All Stars), Jimmies Chicken Shack and Foghat. He is also a veteran of the 2006 HFStival playing on the bill along side Cypress Hill, Kanye West, Matisyahu & The Misfits.
