Bangers, bars, tear-jerkers, love songs, this modern day Shakespeare has a vibe for whatever mood you are in. Billy Shakes is all about creating a strong sense of community within hip hop. Alongside Marty Gray, he is the Co-Founder of GVO, a collective that fosters a space for artists to express themselves freely, encouraging them to grow both individually and alongside fellow artists. With as much as he has accomplished, Billy is and always will be a student of the craft. He continues to expand his artistry by dancing in his free time, learning to DJ, writing and performing his poetry, and working on tons of music to add to his catalog. While entertaining has been in his blood for almost two decades, Billy’s real mission is to build himself and those around him into the best versions of themselves they can be with a very important message in mind: You are the prize. If you aren’t going to treat yourself like the prize, who will?
