Billy Lemos
William Lemos, known professionally as Billy Lemos, is an American artist, music producer, and songwriter known for his genre-blending sound and collaborations with artists in the indie, alternative pop, and hip hop scenes. Based in Los Angeles and originally from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Lemos has built a reputation for discovering and collaborating with under-the-radar talent.
He began producing music in his teens, drawing inspiration from influential producers such as Madlib, Knxwledge, and Ludwig Göransson. His early work was created in his dorm room using FL Studio, Maschine, and a guitar, often collaborating with artists remotely.
Career and musical style
Lemos emerged in the late 2010s with a distinctive sound that blends elements of bedroom pop, indie rock, hip hop, and experimental electronic music. His breakout came through collaborations with artists such as Omar Apollo, Victor Internet, Still Woozy, and Jackie Hayes.His production style has been described as “kaleidoscopic” and “genre-agnostic,” weaving together lush synth textures, off-kilter drum programming, and layered vocal arrangements. In addition to his solo work, Lemos has contributed production and songwriting to songs by SZA, Tinashe, Lexa Gates, Paris Texas, Kenny Mason, The Underachievers, and Chloe George.
