Throughout 2017, Billy Davis introduced himself to new fans with his exciting blend of hip-hop/RnB. With support from around the world, the talented producer and band leader has stamped himself as a unique talent on the Australian musical landscape, with things culminating in the release of his debut album, A Family Portrait.

With a big year ahead, including new music and plenty of live dates, he today shares the visual accompaniment to one of the standout tracks off the album, ‘Goldfish’ – featuring US-rapper Denzel Curry. The video showcases Davis’ strive to build a family, with many of his band members and collaborators appearing throughout the clip. Davis says;

‘The video is an insight into the process of how the ‘Goldfish’ came about, the journey of my crew, the Good Lords, and myself. You see the entire process from beginning to end, workshopping, studio time, recording, and vibing out to it with my closest friends. Finally the transition to a live show, which is one of my core loves, playing it out to the fans and family. There’s also my unique and special relationship with my hype-man, stage diving extraordinaire, Beluga.’
