Billy Foote Music

Billy learned to play the guitar at a young age. His parents were evangelists and Billy would often play a song in the revivals they would lead.

In college Billy began leading worship before there were worship bands or even a concept of specific worship music. After graduating college, Billy began leading worship at camps, retreats and other church related events.

When Billy began to write some of his own songs there was no reason to think they were for anyone but himself, Jesus and the small events in which he led. The third song he ever penned was titled “You Are My King”. He shared the song with his friend, Sam Perry, who was leading worship for the first Passion conference - a Christian collegiate conference. Sam shared the song at Passion. Passion took off, college students who gathered went back to the four corners of the earth carrying the new songs they learned and the path was set for “You Are My King” (most call it “Amazing Love” now) to go global.

Billy continued leading worship all over the country and writing songs. Eventually he added in a band and later his wife, Cindy, joined them on the road. About midway through his itinerate ministry, Billy developed a neurological condition called Hyper Dysphonia. It’s a progressive condition that causes his vocal chords to spasm. While this made it difficult to lead, Cindy began to step in with vocals and Billy continued to give pastoral leadership to the worship time.

Billy and Cindy recorded several albums, all of which can be found on iTunes and other online music stores.

CD Titles include: Go To Everyone, I Have a River, Not a God, All The World to Me, and Wonder Working One.

A few songs Billy has written that you may know include:

You Are God Alone (Not a god)

Sing to the King

Break Our Hearts

I Have a River

Recently, Billy co-wrote “God of Grace” with Nicole Serrano which was recorded by Red Rocks Worship. A lyric video of their performance can be found on youtube: https://youtu.be/HOSf_2sTR98

Together, Billy and Cindy have three beautiful daughters by way of international adoption. Libby, Gracie and Sunny. The Foote family now resides in Amarillo, TX where Billy continues to write and Cindy is focusing on developing The Story Key Podcast - sharing life stories to inspire deeper conversations and more connected communities.
