Biography
The name "Billiano FeVeR" is much more than an attribute to describe an hot up and coming Hip Hop artist. It is about a journey that started out with a little boy who at 14 years of age ran away from his home in Trenton, NJ and never looked back in the name of sanity, peace and an escape from an abusive world where he, his mother and sibling were being abused mentally and physically by a step father whom may have created a "monster". FeVeR was born and raised in Asbury Park, NJ but moved to Trenton for a few years before returning back to the Asbury park streets his birth father and uncles roamed. Though Asbury Park was a far cry from the peace and sanity FeVeR sought.. It was familiar territory and equipped with his music, drive and will to survive he too made a name for him self in the streets as did his father and uncles who paved the way for his arrival. With his father deceased and mother still fighting her way out of an ugly situation FeVeR was welcomed in by many of his childhood friends sleeping from home to home and occasionally the literal streets of Asbury Park itself. Eventually, Billiano FeVeR was welcomed in by his Uncle who gave him the drive and direction he needed to create the artist you see today.
FeVeR has taken the trial and tribulations he experienced and created a stage to stand on opposed to creating a crutch. From this "stage" FeVeR is not afraid to tell the world about his personal experiences and things he has seen. If Nas is a poet whom gives you his perspective from his "project window" FeVeR is a poet whom tells you his story from his view sitting on the corner fire hydrant. FeVeR eventually took his solo career he built and joined one of the hottest underground groups in the Northeast once known as the "Billionaire Boyz Club" long before Pharell's business venture and due to lack of proper business practice and direction the name was taken and forced the group to change it's name to "The Billianos". After several successful and locally acclaimed cd's, shows and battles the group found it's way in "Daddy's House" courtesy of Bad Boy's A&R Rep "Slam". Due to some politics and losses within the group this potential shot at stardom did not pan out and the group later when it's separate ways with the nucleus still in tact. FeVeR, Elite and Katone. Together these three would keep the Billianos relevant for the years to follow but in 2006 tragedy struck again as Elite was nabbed in a drug sting and sentenced to time in a federal prison. Shortly thereafter Katone began experimenting in the world of videography and since then has made a strong name for himself via Square One Media LLC. This left FeVeR alone career wise as the last Billiano standing but this was not unfamiliar territory for him. That same drive he had at 14 years of age when he ran away from home kicked in and…
Billiano FeVeR was born!
Today Billiano FeVeR has already completed his first "professional" cd release self titled "Billiano FeVeR" now available on various online sites including but not limited to iTunes, Napster, Yahoo Music, Amazon and more… Collectively he has moved more than 1,789 "humble" units but still a remarkable number for someone who is literally still doing it alone. Billiano FeVeR is scheduled to release his follow up cd "Past Pluto" with more of the street flavor he was known for while rapping in Asbury Park, NJ. Though Billiano FeVeR is heavily influenced by the streets he once called home "literally" he is very diverse and his delivery is a combination of Hip Hop, R&B and Alternative music all in one. He has been called "Captain Hook" by many people who have come across his work. When you combine clever heartfelt lyrics with great hooks and diversity that is usually a good combination for good music and when combined with adversity, drive, hunger, passion, talent, pain and struggle… you get not only a hot commodity on anyone's label. You get Billiano FeVeR! You are all welcomed…
