Banjo Billy (Pinchas Spicer) was only 7 years old when he began playing and performing music. Then in 1990 he completed his Bachelors Degree in Music and has been composing and performing songs ever since. However it wasn't until about 1998 when a friend gave him a gift that would change his life. A used banjo.
Now Banjo Billy dedicates his songs to the Yidden of the world who want to laugh and relate to the Jewish experience.
Originally under contract as a songwriter with Warner Chappell Music of Australia, his dreams of writing for the secular pop world stepped aside once he brought the Torah into his life and heart. He then decided to quit his job, make aliyah from his home country of Australia an is now living in Israel in the Holy City of Tsfat. Banjo billy made his debut in America at the New York Jewish Music and heritage Festival, 2005 and is continuing to find new audiences and praises to Hashem wherever he goes.
