Billy Newton Davis

What's going on?

Dear friends,

I have great news - I’m making a record and it is one that I have wanted to make for decades!

This is all thanks to the Canada Council for the Arts, my grant writer Jadea Kelly and my team at Kensington Market Jazz Festival - I thank you all for this incredible opportunity.

Very soon, I’ll be heading into Noble Street Studios with multiple Juno-winner John Beetle Bailey and multiple Juno-winner Mike Downes to record and I can’t wait to share this music with you. In the mean time I hope you all have a wonderful summer.

See you in September!

Have We Met?

A jazz EP from a four-time Juno winning vocalist Billy Newton-Davis, who's worked with Gloria Gaynor, Sammy Davis Jr., Céline Dion, The Nylons, MelleeFresh, Boomtang Boys, Nino Anthony and deadmau5.

A jazzy, bluesy, gospelicious offering, "Have We Met" features some of Billy's favourite classics from the great American songbook. The EP features Juno-winner Mike Downes on bass (and arrangements), Stu Harrison on piano, Ben Ball on drums and was recorded & mixed by Brad Nelson at Cylinder Sound, live-off-the-floor.

"There are very few artists who can be called “The Complete Performer”. Billy Newton-Davis is such. And for over four decades he’s proven that, performing R&B, Soul, Gospel, Jazz, A cappella, Pop, Rock, Dance and EDM. Now he’s given us a gift as he goes back to his roots with his new EP “Have We Met?”, recording some of favourite classic songs. Once again, this maestro of music has shown us how great a song can sound and feel because he is singing it in a way that only he can. Billy Newton-Davis is a Canadian treasure and the mountain other performers can only wish they could climb & reach his peak." Rudy Blair
