Billy Gilman: Angela Bacari
built 209 days ago
Born in Hope Valley, Rhode Island, with his parents Mr. & Mrs. William Gilman Jr., Gilman first received notice as a performer at age seven, attracting the attention of a local vocal coach, Angela Bacari, who later became his manager. Eventually he met with Ray Benson (of Asleep at the Wheel) who helped him record demos, including "Roly Poly". Two months later he was signed by Sony Music Nashville.

Before long, Gilman and Stepanek were chatting by phone and e-mail weekly. Gilman’s manager, Angela Bacari, first suggested the possibility of setting Stepanek’s poems to music, and producer and songwriter David Malloy made it happen. Stepanek couldn’t attend the recording sessions, “but he was on the speaker phone 24/7,” Gilman says.

Bacari, who almost worried herself sick watching Gilman record Heartsongs, says, "This time, I never even got a twinge in my stomach. It was so easy; it just flowed. He was so happy. His voice did whatever he wanted it to do."
