Billy Dechand has a unique musical voice, both compositionally and vocally. His music is majestic and gentle, humorous and sad, catchy yet sophisticated, and very often beautiful. He fuses a keen sense of pop music, with its memorable hooks and strong, compelling singing, with the sensitivity, dynamics, and innovation of chamber music. His singing ranges from hall-filling bellows to aching whispers, always with a rich tone. Past and current recordings demonstrate a harmonic and melodic sense that is recognizable as distinctly his.
