Blues guitarist, songwriter, performer, BillyLee Janey has been compared by some to such greats as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins and Jimi Hendrix. Even though these "guitar heroes" have been an inspiration to him, BillyLee's own soulful and passionate love for music cleary and creativly sets him apart, giving him his own unique style and personality.

BillyLee picked up his first guitar, a German Framus, at age 13. It was 1964, the "Beatles era". But beyond the Beatles he was taking "his first steos" toward another direction, one that would lead him down the path into the music that would shape his future, "the blues".

BillyLee recorded his first record in 1972 and another in 1973 which included "Pontiac Blues" by Sonny Boy Williamson.
