Billy Sugarfix
Aloha,
My name is Billy Sugarfix. I grew up in Shangri La with my Mom and Dad ( Mr. and Mrs. Sugarfix). When I was 9, I moved out and lived in Never Never Land where I studied music intensely, and in my early twenties I moved to Carrboro NC, where I still live.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I began playing music and writing songs because of swimming. One day, I went to an old abandoned rock quarry that had filled up with water to take a dip, and noticed an odd ripple in the middle of the pool. It was twilight and thus sort of hard to see, but it soon became obvious that something was coming to the surface, something big. I watched for a few more minutes, and as my eyes adjusted to the light I made out the shape of a human hand holging a guitar above the surface. Without thinking, as though divinely guided, I swam out to the hand and took the guitar.
I don't know about you, but I'd say that was a sign.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I do play live, mainly in Chapel Hill. I also go on short tours around NC and surrounding states.
Your musical influences
Cats, Outer Space, Women
What equipment do you use?
Different things at different times.
