Following her time with Electribe 101 during the 1980s and early 1990s, Billie embarked on a solo career in 1993. Following the release of her first solo single "Persuasion", she had some chart success throughout the remaining 1990s including her biggest hit to date "Your Loving Arms", a top 10 hit in the UK, Ireland and various US dance charts.
Since 2000, though Billie has had very limited commercial success, she has continued producing and releasing studio albums and singles worldwide.
