We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Billy Byrd Sr.. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Billy below.
Billy, thank you so much for joining us. You are such a positive person and it’s something we really admire and so we wanted to start by asking you where you think your optimism comes from?
My optimism comes from the Lord. I have been through a lot in my life and I have only been able to be successful because of the faith that I have found in Jesus.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
Billy Byrd was born on July 13th, 1972 in Kansas City, Mo. He grew up in a loving household with both of his parents. Billy Byrd Sr. never intended to start writing songs filled with uplifted praises to God, nor did he ever think that he’d be singing in the ardor of Christ and living a committed life to Him or teaching about His awesome ways, delivering his message of hope from a pulpit. But that’s exactly where his path has led him. Having an R&B music foundation, life took him down a path that led him deep down in the valley. Thankfully, he came out on the mountaintop when he found Christ and in doing so, he found his true calling, Urban Praise. His debut album entitled, “I Trust You” is an album-driven testament to his deep love and gratitude for being chosen to serve God, first with his life and then in music ministry. More than anything, Billy hopes that he can be a beacon of light that will reach as far back as the streets that were, at one time, commonplace in his life.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
As I look back at my past I have to say my love for Jesus, optimism, social skills, sense of humor, and love for music were most impactful in your journey. My advice to those who are early in their journey is always put God first, do not give up on your dreams but trust the process and enjoy the journey so, that you have no regrets as you pursue your calling and purpose.
What was the most impactful thing your parents did for you?
The most impactful thing that my parents taught me is to treat everyone with love. My Mother took me and my siblings to church and taught me manners like opening the door for women and being respectful to my elders. My father taught me how to work hard and provide for my family.
