Billy Gilman burst onto the national stage in 2000 releasing the hit single “One Voice.” His debut album was certified double platinum in the United States, and the Guinness Book of World Records included him for being the youngest singer to ever reach #1 on the Billboard Top Country Album charts. He has sold five million albums worldwide and garnered awards and nods from the Academy of Country Music, the Country Music Association, Billboard Magazine, and the American Music Association.
Now 28, Gilman is eager to come back and share his new music and his new sound with his fans on NBC’s THE VOICE: SEASON 11. “It took me a good while to figure out exactly who I was, musically speaking. As a little kid, sometimes I was just told what to sing. But now I have enjoyed coming into my own and discovering what it is that I want to sing. And I think that my fans will be pleasantly surprised with what they hear.”
Gilman instantly became a fan favorite week after week with his soaring vocals and amazing song choices and went right to the finale of Season 11’s finale. His coach Adam Levine of Maroon 5 himself said “You can emote so well. You can draw people in so easily,” Levine added. “What you do — you have a very special gift, and I’m just really proud and honored to have you on my team.” Nabbing runner-up and winning over the hearts of millions. Speaking of millions, Gilman scored over 31 million views on YouTube in four short months during his sensational run on the show. The closest competitor was 7 million views behind!!
Gilman is also mindful of the need to be patient with his career. “Music is my life, and it is always what I will be doing with my life. But I understand, given my unusual history, that the road back is not going to be short and easy. I will have to earn my way back into this business—one fan at a time. And that’s exactly how it should be. So far so good!!”

Get off the Bus Concerts came about through the vision of Joe and Fatima Bamford, former owners of HALJOE COACH. After a long and varied career in the music and entertainment industry, Joe thought, “Wouldn’t it be fun to do some concerts with some people who have traveled on our buses over the years?”
Inspired by their daughter, Jenn, who fundraises relentlessly for several organizations, Joe and Fatima realized the importance of giving back to their community so decided to turn their concert idea into fundraisers for charities.
To date, Get off the Bus Concerts has raised over $150,000+ for various charities.
