[Hider=Billy facts]

I said metal in the interest check, but it's a pop punk band he's in. The band is called Still Life Gospel. 

They are known for frequent use of subversive religious imagery. They recently made the rounds in social media because fans jokingly called their most recent album "Godsend" a Christian rock album, and way too many parents believed them and bought it for their kids. 

Godsend is their first platinum album, but a lot of people dismiss it, claiming that it's only because of the social media circus. It has still led to an enormous bump in album sales, as well as merch and general public knowledge, so no one is complaining. 

Billy's family are catholic, and quite strict. He doesn't talk to them anymore. They still live in Delton, but he has no intention of seeing them while he's in town.

Billy is publicly out as pansexual. 

Billy is addicted to coffee and cigarettes. The former he will seek out coffee shops for(he bought a very expensive espresso machine, but sucks at using it), the latter he carries home rolled in a silver case. The case also usually has two or three spliffs. 

He has no pets and is chronically single. His condo in Seattle is often empty as he spends time either touring, or traveling for the fun of it. 

He drives a blue 1975 Camaro Z28 that has been expensively converted to an electric vehicle. 

He was able to shake the cello and band life at school, but took private piano lessons until he was 18 and left home. 

His guitar skills are more or less self taught, and he hasn't played cello in over a decade, but he's a classically trained pianist and vocalist. And has a strong musical education thanks largely to Ritman's performing arts programs. 

He moved in with this nascent band's bassist(Mark Gethers) immediately after graduation, as his parents refused to let him continue his music career under their roof. 

Billy formed his first band, called the White Crosses, while a Junior in high school. Most of his members jumped ship to pursue steady careers after graduation. Mark wanted to try to replace them, and Billy agreed and was actively looking for new members, but he also quietly auditioned to join an up and coming band in Portland. 

When Mark found out, he kicked Billy out, and Billy ended up surfing couches for a few months while his new band tried to gain traction. 

In no small part because of Billy's persistence and talent, the band became locally successful within the year, at least enough for Billy to get his first apartment. The rest is history.
