Billy DenMead was born and raised in the small town of Brocton near Buffalo, New York. Billy was the oldest of four children born to William LeRoy and Beatrice Elaine DenMead. Dad and mom got him hooked on Beatles music as a little boy. though he always sang, Billy didn't get his first guitar until the age of 16 but quickly learned to play and write songs.

Soon after high school, he found the music scene in Cleveland, Ohio was the place to be. He helped form Alexander with Steve Keopka, Jeff Hair, Frank Pannell, and Eric Alexander. They quickly became very popular and successful on the Cleveland music circuit. Billy left Alexander to form Dorian Gray with Jani Lane (warrant) on drums, Dave Chamberlain (DBW Productions) on lead guitar and Al Collins (Slammin' Gladys) on bass. Dorian Gray planned to move to Florida. Al decided not to make the move. He was replaced by Kevin Ryan (Pat Travers, Rick Derringer). Dorian Gray made Orlando, FL their home. Billy found musical success with Dorian Gray playing clubs and concerts all over the southern United States. Jani Lane moved to L.A. to front his own band Warrant. He was replaced on drums by Morgan Evans. Dorian Gray rocked Central Florida for several years until Billy decided to leave the music business to raise his children Jordan and Kyle (KD of KD & JP).

The kids are older and it's time to rock and roll again! Billy spent the last 8 months writing and recording in his old pal Dave Chamberlain's DBW Productions studio in suburban Los Angeles, California. The two together along with Steven Sweet (Warrant) on drums have just finished a phenomenal sounding debut CD called Me. Billy's melodic vocals and Dave's sensational guitar playing and producing have turned out a top notch project.

His album "Me" is available at CDFreedom.com, CDBaby.com and now on iTunes. Billy was recently chosen as the December's Independent Artist of the Month at www.powerhouserock.net.
