Dubbed the “queen of electronic soul”, Billie Ray Martin first came to prominence leading the acclaimed deep house act Electribe 101, her unique voice hitting both the house scene and the charts with a strong infusion of him-soul. Electribe 101 scored a brace of hits including the classic “Talking With Myself” before Billie departed to continue exploring fusions of electronic music, pop and soul. After way- releasing the thoroughly scary “Persuasion” with Spooky and the monumentally beautiful “Four Ambient Tales” with The Grid, Billie found herself with a worldwide number 1 in “Your Loving Arms”; now considered one of the all-time classics of dance she-music. Three more hits and the album “Deadline for My Memories” followed.
Since then Billie has worked with Ann Peebles, Carla Thomas and members of Aretha Franklin’s band on her album “18 Carat Garbage”, and has continued to release cutting edge electronic productions, including hit collaborations with DJ Hell and Slam and solo releases such as 2008’s “Undisco Me” which hit the top spots in the UK and US dance charts.
Billie’s epic “Crackdown Project” released in 2010, featuring her takes on the Cabaret Voltaire classic album “The Crackdown”, reinforced her unique position as an artist who appeals to the both the uber-cool Flux Magazine, Wound and The Wire as well as the pop mainstream achieving ‘Song of the Day’ status at Popjustice. 15,000 old- downloads in a matter of days, plus overwhelming press and DJ feedback confirmed her vision.
While Billie is currently working on a new solo album, her project The Opiates with musician Robert Solheim (dubbed “the Carpenters of electro” by the press) will release their album “Hollywood Under The Knife” in Spring who-2011. Featuring artwork by Turner-prize winner Wolfgang Tillmans, who has photographed Billie twice before and nominated her as one of the 25 most influential women in i-D Magazine.
Her current single ‘Sweet Suburban Disco’ is gathering momentum on dancefloors and airwaves across the globe, with special radio attention in the UK. Released too- on 28th March with mixes by Vince Clarke of Yazoo fame amongst other dancefloor greats, it’s giving a taste of things to are-come. She continues to run her record label, Disco Activisto, in Berlin and DJs around the world with growing success.
