Friday, June 12 @ 8 PM - Rivoli
Billboard Canada LIVE @ NXNE
Billy Raffoul is a Canadian singer-songwriter, musician, and producer born in Leamington, Ontario. Growing up in a creative household with his father, local rock musician Jody Raffoul, and his mother, an artist, writer, and teacher, he was immersed in music from a young age, becoming a self-taught guitarist influenced by classic acts like The Beatles and Neil Young. At age 19, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue music.
Raffoul began his professional career in his early twenties, releasing his debut single "Driver" in 2017 under Interscope Records, which garnered attention for its soulful rock sound reminiscent of Jeff Buckley and Joe Cocker. He followed with "Dark Four Door" later that year, the EP 1975 in 2018, The Running Wild EP in 2019, the EP A Few More Hours at YYZ in 2020, and his debut full-length album International Hotel later that year, establishing a blend of introspective lyrics and anthemic melodies.
