Billy Lockett - a rising music star

Soon it's a double bill associated with Now Hear This, simply because, as often is the case I had been just spoiled for option.

My second featured performer is Billy Lockett -- 25-years-old with a beautiful wealthy voice, a debut EP Burn It Down launched last year, and an impressive one 6m Spotify streams.
He is inspired by one of my very own favourites, Ludovico Einaudi -- today we're premiering their gorgeous video for 'More' (the first single away his upcoming debut album) so you can hear that keyboard for yourself - check it out beneath:

At the moment I'm obsessed with Note Iver's new album, I really like the whole vibe from starting to end. I'm also hearing a lot of Ludovico Einaudi however I don't think I've halted listening to him since I had been 10 years old!

What are your own plans for 2017?

2017 looks like a really positive yr for me, I'm planning on publishing a single every few months coinciding with live gigs around the UNITED KINGDOM.
I want to build gradually as well as honestly, making sure the following is real and natural, so that's what this season is all about building almost children of people who completely get me personally and my music.
That which was the first gig you actually played and what’s already been the best so far?
The first display I ever played was at my local pub because synth/keyboard player, we performed to a drunk man great dog who barked throughout.
I ended up having to perform the songs because the vocalist never turned up haha. The actual guitarist’s dad filmed this and I still have the DIGITAL VIDEO DISC! Watched it last week also it sounded awful but it pressed me in the right direction to go after music as a career.

The very best show I have ever performed was The Royal Derngate within Northampton. My dad brought me personally up in Northampton and when We started touring a lot might never come to the displays as they were always up to now away, so when I known as him to say I had the show in Northampton having been over the moon, I got your pet the best seat in the house! This ended up being the last gig this individual ever came to so it will be the most special to me.
