Billy Dodge

Billy Dodge, born and raised in a small town outside of Boston, Massachusetts, focuses his style mainly on the genre of reggae and rock with an acoustic feel, largely influenced by artists such as Bob Marley, Pearl Jam, Ben Harper, Sublime, and Led Zeppelin. Lyrically, his music derives from political and social inspiration, much like Dylan and Marley, using his music as an outlet for social change. The style is unique in that it doesn't fall into the broad dub or reggae, folk, or rock category, but instead incorporates all their elements and fuses them into one genre. From 14 to 22 years old, Dodge has gone from band to band trying to find his comfort zone and the quest for the right sound that reflects who he is and the only way to reach that was a solo career, realizing that the only musician that could understand his goals was himself.
