Telling universal stories soundtracked by unshakable melodies, Billy Raffoul strikes an intimate chord, tapping into the feelings and experiences we all share no matter where we call home. This relatability has consistently engaged listeners, yielding hundreds of millions of streams and sold-out shows around the globe for the award-winning Ontario singer, songwriter, and producer.
Billy naturally absorbed a lifelong passion for music from his old man, Jody Raffoul, who shined as a singer-songwriter himself. Perfecting his songcraft and voice, he dropped music at a prolific pace, including the 1975 EP, The Running Wild EP, Live in June, and the full-length LP, A Few More Hours at YYZ. Among many highlights, “Acoustic” eclipsed 87.3 million-plus Spotify streams, and “Easy Tiger” reeled in 25.7 million Spotify streams. He progressed with For All These Years, featuring “Better,” “I Wish You Were Here,” and “Bliss.” He notably performed alongside Kings of Leon, Phoenix, and American Authors, in addition to collaborating with Amistat, Katelyn Tarver, and JJ Wilde. Plus, he garnered the 2021 SOCAN Songwriting Prize for “Western Skies” and the 2023 INDIES “Song of the Year” for “We Could Get High.”
Concluding 2023, Billy canvased South Africa on tour. The experience affirmed the boundary-breaking power of music. Upon his return, he initially penned ideas at home before decamping to Los Angeles, where he worked with producer Davis Naish. Now, he makes his closest connection yet on his forthcoming self-titled album, Billy Raffoul.
With bold, witty lyricism that brings you to that liminal space between laughter and tears, Theo Kandel has been described as "a modern-day James Taylor, albeit slightly scruffier and a good deal shorter. But maybe also sexier." (Source pending.) Having amassed over 160k followers across social media and 8M+ worldwide streams, Theo continues to delight listeners young and old, leaving his own fingerpicking-saturated musical fingerprint as he goes. Originally from New York City, he spent six years honing his chops in Nashville before moving to Los Angeles, where he is currently based. His debut album, Eating & Drinking & Being in Love, is out now.
