Billie Bodega

Los Angeles native Billie Bodega has been a creator for the bulk of her life. As a young girl, she learned to play several string and woodwind instruments, and discovered her love of singing in her school choir. At home, Billie reveled in her mother’s diverse music collection, listening heavily to everything from Led Zeppelin, to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, to Gregorian chanting. Exploring new songs and sounds from almost every culture connected Billie with the most remote corners of the world. While music, visual arts, dance, and acting were essential stimuli and creative outlets for Billie, education also played an enormous role in the formation of her passions. Billie moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts to pursue her collegiate career at Harvard University, and graduated with an honors Bachelor’s degree in the visual arts, and a minor in African-American studies. Upon the completion of her studies, Billie returned to Los Angeles and delved back into the same creativity that had been her life force for so long. While simultaneously writing original screenplays and television series, Billie began recording original content with The District Music Group, ultimately forming a creative team that would become her second family. Several years later, having amassed a musical repertoire of original songs that reflect the eclectic sounds she grew up listening to, Billie Bodega released her debut single, “Ocean Blues,” in March of 2018.
