Some early days ....
Billy stems from a family of ten children, five brothers and five sisters. Billy's father 's demise due to his illness was at a time when Billy was only fourteen.
Billy is the younger brother of Neville Nash, a well known music artist. Billy, musically inclined like the rest of the Paulson family, is honest enough to admit that during his teenage years he was the “rotten” singer of the family.
“I can never forget how, during our school days, some family members would hammer me for singing false during our family get togethers.
By that time, Neville was already showing signs of climbing the ladder of success while singing for a group called Mama's Cream. After singing, Billy tried his hand at songwriting.
Billy became a Christian and took to gospel music instead of following in Neville's pop foot steps. “Gospel singers get their satisfaction from what they are doing and feeling, not from the screeching crowds one sees at pop concerts.
Billy has written songs for his brother, Neville. I don't want to be a star and Where we go were two pop songs that Billy wrote.
In 1980, Billy formed the group Humble People, who gained tremendous popularity by playing original music. Two years later the group changed it's name to Wisdom. Their first album together was called Running Back
