Billy Ocean has amassed many gold and platinum records around the world and has been number one on pop charts worldwide, including the US, Australia, Germany, Holland and the UK. Billy has achieved extraordinary success as both an artist and a songwriter.

Ocean Estate – Where it all started

Born in Trinidad, Billy moved to London’s East End with his parents when he was just seven years old. The calypso-crazy boy soon turned to soul singers like Otis Redding and Sam Cooke, as well as pop groups like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and spent most of his youth and college years in the music room.

Breakthrough in the seventies

Billy Ocean made his first breakthrough when he signed with GTO Records. The single released from the debut album “Love Really Hurts Without You” (1976) reached #2 in the UK charts and #22 in the US. Two Top 20 singles followed; “Love on Delivery” and “Stop Me”, then “Red Light Spells Danger” became a hit in both the UK and US. In 2016 Billy Ocean enchants with his Red Light in the live show on the summer tour with Chris de Burgh, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band for NDR.

His music of the 80s – unforgettable pop classics

Billy switched record companies and his move to Jive Records in the 80’s created instant success, with millions of American number one hits sold. Among them “Caribbean Queen” (Grammy for Best R&B Vocal), followed by “Loverboy” and “Suddenly”, which became the first of Billy’s famous ballads. The album from which these singles were taken lasted a year on the US charts and sold double platinum (triple in Canada). Billy also played in the American version of Live Aid and musically made the 80s a truly incredible decade for him.

More hits followed with the now great 80’s classic “Get Outta My Dreams; Get Into My Car” which gave Billy Ocean another US No.1 hit. Billy emerged as one of the busiest artists on the live stage, traveling the world to an ever-growing enthusiastic audience. After great worldwide success and years of touring, Billy decided to take a break to spend some well deserved time at home with his family.

Billy Ocean Comeback

In 2007 Billy decided to perform his hits again, this time with his daughter Cherie on backing vocals, with live performances in the UK, Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and the Caribbean. The tour was a great success and led to him getting back the fun of writing and recording. In 2008 Billy returned to the studio for the first time in 15 years and recorded his new album “Because I Love You” – which was released in 2009.

Back on the Road again

In 2010, Billy went back on tour with his band in the UK, Europe and the US with “The Very Best of Billy Ocean”, an album that entered the UK album chart at #17 and sold 72,000 copies in 4 weeks. In 2012, he went back into the studio with his old buddy Barry Eastmond to record tracks that led to the album “Here You Are,” which was released in 2016 and stayed at #4 on the charts. Billy Ocean is also touring the UK, Europe, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
