At one of these concerts with The savage Rose, the 5 year old Billie suddenly crawled out from her spot under the piano. She walked across the stage and pulled her mothers skirt, to tell her it was her turn to sing! And so she sang in front of a huge festival crowd. As a teenager Billie sang in the choir in her parents band, until she moved in front as a lead singer in her own projects. Billie has also been performing as a singer and dancer in various dance and theater plays. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FRANK Frank Hasselstroem was almost the same age as Billie when he had his musical debut.
