Led by Dove Award nominee* singer/songwriter Billy Buchanan, Fusebox's mix of driving guitars, soulful gritty vocals, hypnotic beats, and worshipful lyrics, are a contagious combination.

Having endured an abusive father, poverty, and eventually his parents' divorce, Billy encourages listeners with songs of hope and restoration. He describes his music as a blend of “concrete and dirt.” He explains, “I was raised in Cleveland, OH, but my family was originally from Georgia, and brought a lot of that culture with them. I would hear pop, hip-hop, and dance music on the street but at home, and at my grandparents' houses, I would hear soul, country, and gospel. It all rubbed off on me.”
Billy, now a Nashville, TN resident, has worked with a who’s who of producers including Brendan O’Brien (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen), John Carter Cash (Johnny Cash, The Carter Family), Rodney Mills (.38 Special, Lynyrd Skynyrd), Dallas Austin (Madonna, Gwen Stefani), Otto Price (BarlowGirl, Out of Eden), and Mac Powell (Third Day). Through his own production company, Vision 1st Music, he has written for and produced some of the best up and coming talent in the music industry today, including Redflecks, Melissa Sobey, Altarmotive, Megan and Mandy, and Trā Jones, to name a few.
As you listen to Billy’s music over the years, you can hear his growth musically, lyrically, and spiritually. Having endured band member changes, record label letdowns, and music industry fads, Billy is the epitome of perseverance and consistency in a business that’s always evolving. Read more on Last.fm.
