On Donald Trump

“I am still in shock that this guy was able to pull the election”. And for him, Trump’s victory has already changed the US: “He tapped into something that was already there, not rational but emotional and angry” he explains, “it views the world through a very narrow lens, carried out by people who do not feel connected to others… and that’s a pretty dangerous combination”. He even goes further: “The sad truth is that he has a very large base of supporters who fell empowered by his behavior”.

On artistry in 2017 

“Artists should continue to stand by what they create” he shares, “and have the balls to do it”. But now, there’s more on the table. “As a musician, I don’t like the idea of being some kind of political spokesperson, but as an American, is important to look outside and get connected with people in other places” says Billy, something aligned with his own career. “I’ve been privileged to travel and learn about things” he adds, “and if I see something that’s not right, or being misrepresented and I have information that says otherwise, I have to say something”.
