Billie-Jo Porter is an Australian singer-songwriter whose music radiates warmth and authenticity. Raised in Quirindi, New South Wales, near the heart of Australia's country music scene, she grew up to the soundtrack of legends like Willie Nelson, John Williamson, Carole King, and Shania Twain, fueling a love of storytelling that would shape her life’s path.
After living and travelling across North America, a pivotal moment at a Canadian yoga festival inspired her to pursue music professionally. Returning to Australia, she collaborated with acclaimed producer Shane Nicholson to craft her debut self-titled album. The 12-track collection, released in 2023, blends country, Americana, and indie folk influences, delivering uplifting and introspective songs.
Billie-Jo's music has garnered significant attention, with her single Feels Like Us charting at #16 on Australia's Countrytown Hot 50 and earning airplay on AMRAP regional charts. She has also been a finalist in prestigious competitions, including the Toyota Star Maker and the Unsigned Only Music Competition.
Billie-Jo is working on her highly anticipated second album, which continues to pay homage to her rural roots and time abroad. It includes standout tracks like Round and Round (featured on Spotify editorial playlists 'Chilled Country', 'Fresh Finds Country' and 'Heaps Country'), Howl at the Moon and This Is Us Here — a heartfelt collaboration with Golden Guitar-winning artist Andrew Swift.
Known for her engaging live performances, Billie-Jo has graced stages at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, Bello Winter Music Festival, Groundwater Country Music Festival, Revelstoke Street Fest (Canada) and the iconic Gympie Music Muster. Her music continues to inspire and uplift audiences, solidifying her place in the Australian country music landscape.
