相关介绍：    生長在羅德島的小比利，從小就愛聽祖父母所播放的鄉村音樂，包活：Tammy Wynette、George Jones、Eddie Arnold等經典大師作品，當小比利生命中的貴人Ray Benson出現，他的生命有了劇烈的改變。Ray Benson身為鄉村樂界傳奇人物，在他的引薦之下小比利正式進入樂壇．實現他心目中長久以來的夢想－站在眾人面前唱歌，以歌聲帶給人們歡樂及滿足。
        不可讳言的，小比利的声音“长大了”，但去掉童音中尖锐的高音部分，略为低沉的嗓音，让他的歌声更能穿透人心。加上Mattie满是生命力的诗句，适时出现在歌曲的间奏部份，旋律与诗意的完美融合，让人不禁对生命燃起无限的热情，而小比利也再度实现了用歌声关怀人群的心愿。

Volo：03年的小比利了，现在都已经是大比利了，但是却很少能找到他的踪迹了。
