Last Month (November 2023) Billy Appeared On UK Daytime Panel Show Loose Women Talking About How Happy He Is Now In His Own Skin (Compared To Circa 20 Years Ago In His 30s, And Before Then, When His Industry Indicated The World Was Still Not Ready For Him or The Album He Had Begun To Make).
And Why Style & Fashion Is So Important To Him, As Someone Who Began Singing In The Church Aged Just 5 Years Old. Beaming, He Shared How His Mother Now Tells Him (In His New State of Being Totally True To Himself, Happy And Heralded), That He May Think He’s Left The Church And Old Time Religion But All She Hears Coming Out of His Mouth When He Sings Is Jesus.
His New Album, The Black Mona Lisa Is Out Now.
Now That’s Definitely Something To Sing, Dance – And ‘Smile’ – About!

On April 4th 2020, Expressing Exactly Just How Life-changing The Musical Was To Him, @TheeBillyPorter Posted “Y’all “Kinky Boots” opened on Broadway 7 years ago today! When I demanded to be seen as a three-dimensional human being, the work dried up – I was shut out of auditions for anything of substance. Whether because of my sexuality, my race, bad timing or whatever, access and opportunity remained elusive. So, in 2000, I walked away from Broadway, left the music industry behind and moved to Los Angeles. 13 years later, “Kinky Boots” brought me back to Broadway, and with that, I won both a Tony and a Grammy Award. The world has caught up with me, and I’m a living witness that dreams do come true.“
