Billy Pace  music bio. 

Billy has done multiple songs and commercials over the years. He got his start working under Marteen Andruet in the 1990s in NYC, helping with keyboard and drum programming on many songs and ad campaigns. His first commercial that he composed on his own was a techno track for Philips electronics that was directed by Tony Scott (Man on Fire, Enemy of the State) and helmed by BBDO producer Tony Frere and Satellite Films. Following this successful collaboration, he and Tony Frere did a number of commercials together over the next few years including a Volkswagen Jetta ad. His next major project was writing and co-producing the song ”US” in 1998 for Celine Dion which was on the album “Let’s Talk About Love” that went on to sell more than 30 million copies worldwide. After that he moved to Los Angeles to develop other writing projects including “Prodigy”, a hip-hop musical about 80’s NYC artist Jean Michel Basquiat as well as another musical that is in development now. He has continued to work in advertising when the opportunity has arisen most recently having done a national spot for Time Warner Cable directed by Charlie Watson as well as scoring a web series and a pilot for a reality show. His latest project is composing the soundtrack on a short film by director Robyn Dettman called “Appleseeds’, that was funded in part by a grant from Skywalker Sound and sound designed and mixed by their own E.J. Holowicki. He also placed 2 songs on the recent reboot of CW's 90210. Billy’s expertise as a writer, music programmer and producer spans all facets of music and his ability to traverse genres makes him a true chameleon and asset to whatever project he is involved with.
