Billy Hyatt
LOVE MUSIC, NEARLY EVERY KIND, PUNK FUNK TO THE END, PLAYED GUITAR AND DRUMS SINCE I WAS A KID, BEGAN WRITING SONGS WHEN I WAS 12 ( DECADES AGO, HA HA) CAUSE I COULD'NT PLAY ANYBODY ELSE'S. I GOT BETTER WHEN I STARTED COPYING JIMI HENDRIX. WHICH LEAD TO MY TEENAGE YEARS BEING SPENT PERFORMING TO HUNDREDS OF OTHER TEENAGERS, IN BEAUTIFUL MANSIONS IN THE WOODSY HILLS OF SAROTOGA & SANTA CRUZ CALIFORNIA, CAUSE SOMEONES PARENTS WENT OUT OF THE COUNTRY AGAIN, THOSE WERE THE DAYS, GOT THE PLEASURE OF OPENING FOR LADY BO, 1ST LADY OF GUITAR, & BO DIDDLY'S EX WIFE I BELIEVE, ALSO THE ROCK GROUP FOGHAT, AND THE AWESOME JIMI HENDRIX IMPERSONATOR RANDY HANSEN, TWICE. ALSO GOT TO SIT IN, ON A IN MUSIC STORE APPEARANCE WITH RANDY & JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE DRUMMER THE GREAT MITCH MITCHELL. I PLAYED THE BASS, I WAS'NT THAT GOOD ON BASS BACK THEN, BUT THAT WAS COOL, I ENDED UP PLAYING IN CLUBS & VENUES FROM SANTA CRUZ TO SAN FRANCISCO IN THE BAY AREA, AS WELL AS LOS ANGELES.
MY MUSIC IS A ECLECTIC MIX OF EVERY THING I EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE, & LIKED LIKE MOST PEOPLE, I HAVE MANY INFLUENCES & WRITE SONGS THAT INCLUDES ROCK, SOUL, GOSPEL, ACOUSTIC, FUNK, BLUES, WHEN PEOPLE ASK WHAT KIND OF MUSIC I MAKE I HAVE TO SAY THAT I AM A MUSICAL SCHITZ O FRENIC
