ABOUT BILLY NEWTON-DAVIS
Billy Newton-Davis is a formidable presence in the Canadian music industry, receiving Junos for best R&B/soul recording for his first two albums Love Is a Contact Sport (1986) and Spellbound (1989), and more recently a Juno for best dance recording of the year for his work with deadmau5 on “All U Ever Want.” From 1991-93, he was a member of the a cappella pop sensation, The Nylons. Billy’s latest EP is a jazzy, bluesy, gospelicious offering recorded live-off-the-floor and features some of his favourite classics from the great American songbook called “Have We Met?”
Generously Supported by the Edwards Charitable Foundation.
