Billysi (f.k.a. Billy's Private Parking) is a melodic rock band. The voice of their lead singer Urska is an element that softens hard-edged guitar riffs and adds tenderness to the music. The band was founded in 2001 by Sergej Pobegajlo, an established song writer, and member of Billysi. He has composed and worked with many great musicians (Doug Fieger – The Knack, Yunk, Hannah, …) while living in Hollywood, LA. He finally managed to find the exceptional musicians that he wanted for this new, ‘rock-with heart’ melodic rock band. The base for the band became Ljubljana, an old European city of Slovenia, where he found the talents for the band and started to work with them. The first cast included Stefano Vrabec, the famous Italian drummer (Achtung Babies) and Urska Majdic (a.k.a. Ursyna), who until this day stays the front-woman and co-composer for the band. After a few changes in the cast they finally found the perfect guitarist, Matic Ajdic. There has been a change on the bass since the beginning – from Martin Rozman to Sergej Pobegajlo – and a series of changes on the drums, including Eki Lutman, Marko Sorsak (Elvis Jackson), Roman Ratej (t.A.T.u.) to Jure Rozman (Da Phenomena), who stays with the band for the longest time. BILLYSI are formerly known as Billy’s Private Parking. Since then they have established a name of a good-vibe rock band on live concerts, as well as gained many radio-hits in this time (Brez besed, Neon, Ime, Hello Hello, etc) . They have won several awards, including national Diamanti award for Best in Rock (Feb ‘09). It is one of the most recognizable rock groups in Slovenia, with their upcoming 4th full-length studio album in English to reach as much listeners across the world as possible. Their music can be recognized as melodic rock, with extraordinary musical and lyrical ideas. …………………………………… Albums: - Modra pravljica (2001) - Insomnia (2005) - Magia (2007) Singles: - Brez besed - Ljubljana - Neon - Ime - Hello Hello - Preberi me - Kaos Awards: - National music award Diamanti for BEST IN ROCK (Feb 09) - National award Zlati Petelin - award for music writing (S.Pobegajlo), - Lyrics award - Hit festival ‘04 (U.Majdic – “Prezeni Oblake”), - Voted for one of top-rock-songs of the year -Stop magazine (“Ime”) - Award for best song in advertising Sof-Off (“IF I…Fell In Love”) - Numerous top positions on radio charts (Val 202, Ra MB, Planet 10, Slo Top 10,.. ) (Dallas) www.billysi.net …………………………………..
