Billy Puts Bermuda on Chart

Bermuda has been put on the map not once but twice in the Great American Song Contest thanks to Billy Byron and Mathew Joseph, each of whom won recognition for their work. Both won ‘Outstanding Achievement’ awards, Mr. Byron in the Country category for his ‘Texas Campfire Song’ which he co-wrote with American Sammy Lee, and Dr. Joseph in the instrumental category for his composition, ‘Kaliyug’. Mr. Byron also placed in the ‘Honor Award’ winners list for his socio-political song, ‘Hey, Dr. King!’“I’m so excited,” the songwriter said of his successes.Seventeen hundred songwriters from around the world competed in the annual contest, which is designed to offer songwriters a positive alternative to the “big cash prize corporate contests”. All work must be in English, and there are nine songwriting categories in which to compete, including pop/adult contemporary, country, contemporary acoustic/folk, instrumental, R&B/hip-hop/rap, Christian/Gospel.
