One of the more gritty and down-to-earth traditional performers on the circuit, Billy Hoffman lives his life to perform. The Oklahoma native brings to his debut release what few other artists do, and that's a fan base created from the hundreds of thousands for whom he has performed over the last four years.
Born in Arkansas and raised in Poteau, Oklahoma, Hoffman's interest in music began in his early youth, and there followed years of intense and back-breaking road work. But all the time Hoffman was honing his style and learning the performer’s craft.
His debut Critter Records release, "All I Wanted Was You", was produced by country legend Joe Stampley. Stampley ranks as Billboard's 52nd all-time country singles artist and knows what it takes to become a successful artist with a long career.
But it's still the call of the live performance that speaks to Billy and drives him to keep such a busy schedule. Billy says of performing, "It's like falling in love for the first time every time I go on stage. When people come to see me, they're spending their entertainment dollar. And if they're going to spend it with me, then I'm going to give them the best that I've got to give."
