Billie Tan’s love for music started at home, sparked by his older brother Scarmega, whose creative energy lit a fire in him. Watching him produce tracks as a kid, he was pulled into the world of sound—not just for its rhythm, but for its power to communicate emotion. “It started when I was a kid,” he says, reflecting on the early pull that turned into purpose. For Billie, music isn’t just a craft—it’s how he translates who he is, what he’s lived, and what he believes.
His sound is hard to box in—and that’s by design. Trap, soul, R&B, pop—Billie moves through genres without losing his identity, blending his influences into a style that’s unmistakably his. One track might channel Lauryn Hill’s lyrical sharpness; another might echo Drake’s introspection. “I can work on any kind of beat, but you’ll know it’s still me, he says. That ability to shift while staying rooted is a mark of an artist who knows exactly who he is—and isn’t afraid to stretch.
As an independent artist, Billie’s had to wear every hat—writer, marketer, booking agent—but he doesn’t let the hustle define him. “It’s all about perspective,” he says. Instead of focusing on the pressure, he leans into patience and growth. His journey hasn’t just been about music—it’s been about becoming spiritually aligned, learning to trust his timing and his message. The setbacks didn’t break him; they sharpened him.
One performance, though, stands out above the rest: The Apollo Theater. “Performing there was everything,” Billie says. Stepping onto that iconic stage, where so many legends have stood, gave him a moment of real validation. It wasn’t just a gig—it was a marker. A reminder that he’s on the right path, that his voice has weight.
Billie builds his fanbase the same way he builds his songs: with intention. He stays active on social media, not to chase clout, but to connect with the people listening. “It’s about staying real with them,” he says. While he thrives live—his energy is magnetic in person—he understands that consistency online builds community, especially for fans who see their own stories in his music.
Now, he’s in the studio, laying down new singles that show off his range and vision. “I’m always creating,” he says, hinting at tracks dropping soon. By 2026, he sees himself reaching a broader audience, touring more, and locking in collaborations that elevate his sound. With its emotional honesty and fluid style, his music fits right next to SZA, Kehlani, or Jhené Aiko—perfect for listeners craving something spiritual, grounded, and genre-bending.
“I’m so grateful for everyone riding with me,” Billie says. “This is about growth—inside and out.” With new music on the way and his compass set on authenticity, Billie Tan isn’t just making noise—he’s making meaning. And if you’re paying attention, you’ll hear every note of his evolution.
