From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Billy Simpson (born 17 July 1987) is an Indonesian singer-songwriter, musician, producer and multi-instrumentalist.[1][2] He is the winner of the first season of The Voice Indonesia.
Career
In February 2013, Simpson passed the Blind-Audition of The Voice Indonesia which is aired in Indosiar TV. Singing the song One by U2 gave him a 4-chair-turn and he picked Giring Ganesha from the band Nidji as his coach.[3]
At the TOP 24, Simpson presented his own ‘twist’ of "Beautiful", a song originally performed by Cherrybelle, and managed to get to the next stage of the competition.[4][5]
Fans from all over Indonesia started to follow Simpson and call themselves "Billyvers"[6]
Today, Simpson is the first winner of the show.[7][8][9][10][11]
