Billy Fox

It’s been something of an auspicious introduction to Billy Fox, the Sydney-based musician, producer, writer and experimental purveyor of thought-provoking electronica. Launching late- 2013 with the soulful ‘Monuments’, the new project was born simply out of perfect timing – one project ended, another naturally needed to begin. Writing began and the simple mantra of “If it feels good, then do it” quickly became the mission statement. Simplicity, according to Fox, is the key to his solo music-making, but when the layers are pulled back by the listener, musicianship, lyrical content and production-savvy recording are quickly revealed one by one. If you ask Billy Fox about the “hip-hop beats and smoky electronic RnB inspired by the likes of James Blake and Sam Smith”- The Line of Best Fit...or the “unmissable Miike Snow vibe”- Acid Stag, he would no doubt steer the conversation towards “songwriter and producer”- Billy Fox, as this is how he sees it. Prolific in nature, Billy Fox released his 2014 debut EP, Overboard, featuring not only the steady and infectious yet soulfully-paced first single ‘Monuments’, but also the ultra-slick follow-up ‘Mystery’. In 2015 Fox brought his new single, ‘LIGHTS’ and to kick off 2016 he offers up yet another thought provoker in ‘East Coast’. Mixed by Simon Todkill (Charli XCX, Birds of Tokyo) & mastered by Leon Zervos (Rihanna, Muse, Daniel Johns), it's a brand new song for a promising year ahead. With a startling live show to suit, touring alongside the likes of the Glass Animals, Boo Seeka, The Aston Shuffle, Tijuana Cartel and RW Grace, Billy Fox is prepped and ready for the East Coast, West Coast and everything in between. Praise for Billy Fox “As a whole, it‟s a shivering, saccharine, emotion-packed song; the sort of tune that allows you to drift off and relax.” - The Line Of Best Fit “I keep coming back to this song and being impressed [four stars]“ - Richard Kingsmill, triple j “wow what a world class talent [4.5 stars]“ - Rosie Beaton, triple j Unearthed “Monuments‟ boasts a timely crossover of contemporary folk and electronic production that is laced with an unmissable Miike Snow vibe, which is sure to gain Billy Fox a wad of attention.” - Acid Stag “Beautifully warm production, nice chorus payoff, strong vocal line. We have a winner [four stars]“ - Zan Rowe, triple j “Lights is a refreshing taster of Billy Fox‟s developing sound, and it‟s a pleasure to be taken along for the ride.” Erin Rooney, The Brag
