In an age when the industry embraces a generation of superstar DJs, this young, talented artist shines through. Gaining credibility over the years, Bill Basil, commonly known on the airwaves as DJ Billy the Kid, redrew the margins and strived to become one the most respected and sought after DJs from Chicago. Being in consistent demand has given Bill the pleasure & opportunity to work & share the stage with huge names of stage & screen (The Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake, Jessica Simpson, Rhianna, The Prodigy, Jenna Jameson, Lady Gaga, & Mariah Carey to name a few).
Besides his massive show on the legendary WBBM B96.3 FM, he maintains some of the hottest nights in Chicago as his residencies, as well as being invited to air guest mixes on some of the most respected stations in the world (Radio 105 Italy, Ibiza Global, & Radio 1 Greece). Thus reaching true heights in the dance music community and gaining national and international recognition in droves. Bill was nominated for Emerging Artist of the Year 2006 and Dj of the Year 2004 & 2005 for Chicago by Scion and Local Sound Chicago. He was also a featured Dj at the prestigious Winter Music Conference in Miami 2004, 2006, and under his monkier in 2008 & 2009 with business partner Gus Calderone as "The House Moguls".?
Receiving much praise producing and remixing as Bill Basil or under "The House Moguls", his material has found its way into the hands of some of the most influential and dominant producers in the electronic scene.
