Others appreciate how he connects with everyone in the audience. It’s because of his versatility that Mayfield is a “man for all occasions.” His passion for the stage and performance electrifies any occasion.
Even a shift in venue doesn’t stop the accolades. Wherever he performs -- corporate functions, festivals or appearances with other artists -- guests keep begging for more. This is exactly what he plans to give. Being a multi-instrumentalist, in 2004, Billy Mayfield released his first recording project "It's Not The World, It's The People". Billy wrote, produced, engineered and executed all instrumental and vocal performances for his first solo effort. He's still writing and recording for himself and with other artist. Mayfield also does a solo performance concept singing comping himself on playing guitar and keyboards. Be on the look out for instrumental music under N2Groove!
