About Billy Sherwood: William Wyman "Billy" Sherwood is a musician, record producer, and engineer.
I write on all instruments.
Sometimes I hear a drum groove in my head and I rush down to my studio.
I also write poems, so that is something that I really enjoy.
So in one sense you don't have the classic keyboard player in Yes.
I think that the climate within the band has changed, it's now in a more functional situation.
So whenever I had some in-between producing time down in my studio I popped a tape in and started working on it. Working a little bit at a time, it actually took almost four years.
So one can say that I write all the time, that goes for the lyrics as well.
I wasn't really writing with anything commercial in mind I just wanted to create some new music.
I have always enjoyed different kinds of music.
So when bands work with me and it's 10 o'clock, usually you'd have to be getting out of the studio, we could go on until 2 in the morning cause it's my place!
