From intimate stages to sold-out arenas, Billy Covington’s journey through the world of R&B has been nothing short of remarkable. Known for his soulful presence as a member of the multi-platinum group Hi-Five, Billy—affectionately called “BC”—is now stepping into a powerful new chapter. In 2025, he launches his solo career with bold ambition, global vision, and a sound that transcends borders.
This summer, Billy Covington will release “Forever”, a highly anticipated solo single infused with South American flair. The track blends sensual R&B melodies with infectious Afro-Latino rhythms, capturing the essence of Billy’s evolution as an international artist. It’s more than a song—it’s a movement, a rhythm, and a passport to his new musical identity.
Filmed against the stunning backdrop of Colombia, the music video for “Forever” is a cinematic love letter to culture, romance, and rhythm. From vibrant city streets to breathtaking natural scenery, the visuals amplify the song’s message of connection and escapism, all anchored by Billy’s unmistakable vocals.
On August 2, fans will get to experience Billy live at the Mezcla Music Experience in Cartagena, Colombia—a festival celebrating global talent and cultural unity. It’s the perfect setting for BC to introduce his new sound to the world, fusing his R&B roots with an international heartbeat.
Born in New York and musically raised in New Jersey, Billy honed his sound with inspiration from icons like Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Prince, and Quincy Jones. His career includes collaborations with legends such as DJ Eddie F, Donell Jones, Sheldon “So” Goode, and Grammy-winning producer Darren Lighty. From early performances at Nells, Webster Hall, and Village Underground, to sharing stages with icons like Janet Jackson, Bobby Brown, and Tony! Toni! Toné!, Billy has earned every spotlight moment.
Though he continues to honor his history with Hi-Five, Billy’s solo journey is one of growth and global impact—bridging cultures and creating timeless music that speaks to the heart.
So whether you’ve followed BC since his Hi-Five days or you’re just discovering his velvet voice, get ready for the next chapter.
Experience the evolution. Experience the soul. Experience Billy Covington.
