Growing up in central Texas, country music was a staple, especially with roots as deep as Billy's. His grandfather was the late country music legend Big Bill Lister, who was the opening act for Hank Williams Sr. Big Bill was a songwriter, performer, and entertainer. Watching him on the stage, Billy would try to emulate him at a very young age, giving milk carton stage performances to an audience of stuffed animals. Billy has had the dream since he was 6. Billy's cousin Dave Kirby, was a renowned song writer and musician who wrote songs like "Anybody Goin To San Antone" and "Side Walks of Chicago" among others. Growing up surrounded by this kind of history, it was inevitable that Billy would follow in his Grandads footsteps.
