Playing trumpet and piano since the age of nine and studying jazz since age 11, Berkeley, California native Billy Buss is emerging as an in-demand artist and educator. After graduating Summa Cum Laude from both the Berklee College of Music in 2009 (B.A. in Professional Music) and The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance at Loyola University of New Orleans in 2011 (M.A. in Music), Billy transplanted his performing and teaching endeavors to the Greater Manhattan and Boston areas.


Billy has received numerous prestigious awards including DownBeat Magazine, The National Foundation for the Advancement in the Arts (NFAA) and The White House. His talents and dedication have allowed him the opportunity to perform around the world at such venues as the New Orleans Jazz Fest, Monterey, Umbria, Montreux and JVC Jazz festivals; the Dubrovnik Summer Music Festival in Croatia; numerous festivals in Japan; the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.; a variety of clubs in Boston and New York, the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai, and the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing, China – the former two as part of a State Department sponsored tour with legends Herbie Hancock and Dee Dee Bridgewater.


Billy can be heard performing frequently in New York City from jazz clubs in Greenwich Village and the Lower East Side (The Blue Note, Café WAH, Sullivan Hall, Smalls, 55 Bar, DROM, etc) to Performing Arts Centers (Tribeca Performing Arts Center, Lincoln Center, Manhattan Ballroom, Brooklyn Bowl) with artists such as legendary drummer Billy Hart, tenor saxophonist Dayna Stephens, Pop sensation Alice Tan Ridley, Hip-Hop super group Deltron 3030, and more. Most recently, Billy performed with Thelonious Monk Jr. in Osaka, Japan.
