Now performing as BILLY, the singer released his first solo EP earlier this year.  German band Tokio Hotel, featuring Bill and his twin brother Tom, burst onto the music scene in 2005 when the band members were just teenagers.

The attractive teenager adorned many bedroom walls with his androgynous looks. Bill’s said in interviews that he never wants to label his sexuality and whether he falls in love with a girl or a boy, people should just be happy either way.

The singers latest offering is the tune Not Over You and the accompanying  video shows off his distinctive fashion style.

Alongside solo music BILLY also put out a limited edition book of photos to accompany his new music. The singer says the first tunes he’s put out as a solo performer were inspired by a recent break-up and were way too personal to go on a Tokio Hotel record.
