Billy Chernoff....."A Better
Way"
Billy began his work career by grooming and exercising racehorses in
Vancouver, British Columbia. Music, however, was always a big part of his life
from the very early start. He sang in choirs as a child and started writing
his own songs at fourteen years of age when he received his first instrument -
a guitar. Later he started playing in clubs in the Toronto, Ontario area.
He felt the magnetic pull of Music City, USA and so predictably moved to
Nashville, Tennessee to write and record for RCA Victor, the prime label of
the era. He was pleased to join the top label headed by his hero Chet Atkins.
Chernoff has been a highly successful country artist in Canada, recording hit
songs such as No Lonelier Than You on Spartan Records (number 10 on Canada's
record charts), Susie's Better Half on RCA Canada (top five), and When You
Were A Lady on RCA Canada (number one). To Ma Ray, Tom O Ray, a song on RCA
produced by Ronny Light in RCA's Studio B in Nashville, topped Canada's RPM
record charts and charted regionally in the U.S.
Crisp and clean with a modem feel that doesn't forget or leave behind its
country roots, the songs on "A Better Way" range from
modern/contemporary country to a few with a folk/roots slant. Billy sings
about the pain, humor, and trials of life with a rich, deep voice that is
clearly unrivaled by many in today's music. Gentle-on-the-ear and
communicative, there's nothing tasteless about this 5-star country-Americana
undertaking. Country music fans across the board will find much to enjoy in
his new CD.
"Through Hell With You" is the first single at radio now and is
currently being released nation wide. It can be downloaded at www.readyforplay.com

THE BEST IS YET TO COME
Uneasy at the thought of dwelling too much on past successes(of which he has
many), Billy says, “Without doubt, I think the best is yet to come! … I feel
very fortunate to have been influenced by some of the people I've know along the
way.
It's been a privilege and a joy to travel the USA and Canada taking my brand of
North American country and cowboy music to the people and making my living from
it! …I enjoyed even the small and medium-size venues as well as the bigger
clubs, associations, and music festivals. For the most part, I have been flying
under the media's radar and not creating too much fuss or hype. Now in 2006 with
the release of the ‘Life Songs’ album that may be changing.
Inter-denominational opportunities are presenting themselves for my music
ministry. I would call that a highlight that is beginning to hatch.”
The Chernoffs have three kids of whom they are rightly proud. “In 2006 we have
two girls aged 9 and 12 named Meagan Mabel and Catherine Grace. We also have a
boy aged 15 called John William. They all live in Vancouver, British Columbia
with their Mom (Dianne Lynn) and me, of course, when I'm not on the road. To
spend quality time with my kids is an essential for me.
We make home in between three different locations – Vancouver-BC, Grand
Forks-BC, and Nashville-TN. We raise our children in Vancouver so I spend as
much time there as I can. My 91 year ‘young’ Father resides mostly in Grand
Forks-BC my hometown so I pass through there as much as I can, and of course I
work out of Nashville. That’s where my record company is and my immediate
network of people that I work with are.”
While being interviewed for a segment of the ‘Grace and Glory’ Christian
radio show in Mexia, Texas in the summer of 1999, Billy says that he came to
realize that the oral tradition of worship and teaching (that he had been raised
with) had left out a most important part of the Christian experience.
He says, “Truth dawned on me- as it did Nicodemus in his encounter with Christ
recorded in John’s Gospel (John 3:5) in the New Testament. Christ declared
that all men need to be ‘born again’ or in other words, experience the
‘new birth’. For me, I personally experienced a totally transforming and a
life-changing event that even more convinced me of God’s existence…
Nowadays, the debate rages about ‘intelligent design’ v ‘evolution. Some
of the greatest scientific minds of our day are starting to yield and re-think
their positions under the weight of all the compelling ‘intelligent design’
evidence that is so overwhelming. In my view, a creation of the magnitude of
Planet Earth necessitates a Creator. I think that it would take a lot of
outrageous faith these days to be an atheist! When I asked my 9 year old
daughter, ‘How do you know that God exists?’ She promptly answered, ‘How
would we exist if He didn’t?’”
WORD OF MOUTH PROMOTION
Billy hopes to broaden his fan-base in the USA and the UK and in particular
target the Christian/Country markets. He has completed a new Country-Americana
album this year (2006) that he will be releasing early next year. He has also
started on a new Gospel album as well that I hopes to finish in the New Year.
Billy says, “I hope to be able to go on writing songs that I love to sing, and
making the best records I can, Then I hope to go around the country performing
those songs. Being able to work steadily all these years is a blessing and a
success in itself. Via the word-of-mouth, people tell other people about me and
my music. With a positive media profile plus the word-of-mouth from audiences,
I’m pleased that the news is getting around internationally about my music.”
