Billy More's debut single "Up & Down" reached the top 30 in Germany and led to appearances on various TV shows including GIGA and RTL's Top Of The Pops. His subsequent releases included albums such as The New Millennium Girl (2000), Loneliness. (2001) Notable collaborations include "My Rhythm Of The Night" with Roby Pinna, released in 2004.
