For country girl Billie-Jo Porter the journey into music has been a natural one. Neighbouring the nation’s country music capital, Tamworth, it seems appropriate that Billie-Jo felt drawn to country music.
Billie-Jo is no stranger to songwriting success. She co-wrote ‘Head Full of Honey’ with Andrew Swift, which peaked at No.7 on The Music Network’s Hot 50 airplay charts. Prior to this, Billie-Jo cut her teeth supporting artists including Hussy Hicks, Gretta Ziller & Riley Catherall and has frequented festivals including Tamworth Country Music Festival and Bello Winter Music Festival, delighting audiences and generating a strong industry buzz.
Her rising success captured the attention of multiple Golden Guitar and Aria Award-winning Shane Nicholson, who produced her latest releases at The Sound Hole studios on the Central Coast.
Billie-Jo’s debut single ‘Feels Like Us’ an upbeat, heart-warming love song co-written with Andrew Blyth at the Dag Sheep Station Songwriters Retreat debuted at No.2 on the Itunes Singer/Songwriter chart, No.1 on AMRAP Regional Chart, No.15 on The Countrytown Music Network Chart and reached the dizzy heights of No.2 on Tamworth own 2TM’s Australian Country Music Chart.
Billie-Jo’s follow-up single ‘Eyes Wide Open’ is a happy beach-boho, live-and-let-live anthem that will make you want to take off your shoes and enjoy the sunshine with friends.
Now living on the North Coast of NSW, Billie-Jo Porter offers a unique sound by infusing a laid-back beach lifestyle and her country roots. With her sentimental and energetic songwriting, Billie-Jo Porter is a fresh talent ascending new heights, sprinkling joy into the ears of her listeners, taking them on a high-spirited journey of delight, music and love.
