Grammy Award®-winning drummer Billy Kilson sets a standard all his own. Constantly evolving in his craft, philosophy, and approach, Kilson hits the mark every time. As a sideman with Chris Botti over the last decade, Billy has shared the stage with some of the most prolific musical icons of our generation: Sting, Yo-Yo Ma, Steven Tyler, and John Mayer, just to name a few. With Botti, Kilson has toured the world and entertained millions with his infectious grooves, standing ovation drum solos, and charismatic charm. As the leader of his own group, Billy has released three highly acclaimed albums and elevated what it means to be a drummer in the postmodern music industry. When not touring, Billy teaches at Berklee College of Music in Boston and passes down timeless wisdom and the knowledge given to him by his teacher and mentor Alan Dawson.
