Billie Myers

Billie Myers biography

After the release of Growing, Pains and before her second album, Myers scored the title track for the Freddie Prinze, Jr. film Down to You.

Vertigo (2000)

In June 2000, Myers released her second record, Vertigo, which featured the single "Am I Here Yet? (Return to Sender)". The dance remix of "Am I Here Yet?" by DJ Junior Vasquez reached number 1 on the dance charts. "Should I Call You Jesus?" was the album's second single and invited controversy because of Myers' frank, honest questions about religion. Myers was satisfied with her sophomore record because she was more assertive in the production process and more direct lyrically. Billboard called Vertigo's collection of songs "a fearless set that intertwines deft pop hooks, wickedly honest lyrics, and vibrant rhythms".

"Just Sex" (2005)

In November 2005, Myers released a single, "Just Sex", with Artemis Records' Star Struck compilation album. One year later, Myers was named the closing act for Los Angeles Gay Pride 2006 and a featured act for New York City Pride 2006. She also appeared at the Chicago North Halsted Market Days 25th Anniversary Festival. The remix of "Just Sex" reached number 8 on the Billboard Dance Chart.

Tea & Sympathy (2009)

Myers' third album, Tea & Sympathy, was completed early in 2009. The record was released through iTunes on her own record label, Fruit Loop Records, on 1 September 2009. A physical copy of the record was available through Myers' official website on 15 September 2009. The first single, a ballad titled "I Hope You're Happy Now", was released on 7 July 2009. Myers has also begun an "Unscripted" series on her YouTube channel, that provides her fans with background information on the newest songs.
