Belfast, Northern Ireland-based DJ/producer Billy Gillies is teaming up once again with captivating singer-songwriter Hannah Boleyn for “Right Here All Along (Feat. Hannah Boleyn),” available now via Big Beat Records HERE.
A new spin on Gillies’ breakthrough viral favorite, “Lagoon,” and already a fan favorite after being featured in his live sets all summer long, “Right Here All Along (Feat. Hannah Boleyn)” marks the second collaboration from the two artists following last year’s “DNA [Loving You] (Feat. Hannah Boleyn).” The track proved Gillies’ biggest success thus far with more than 127M worldwide streams and over 100M creations on TikTok to date, rocketing the track to the upper reaches of US Dance Radio airplay rankings as well as the top 10 on the UK’s Official Singles Chart. What’s more, “DNA” received Platinum certification in the UK fueled by A-listed airplay across British commercial radio outlets like BBC Radio 1, Kiss, and Capital Radio while peaking at #2 on iTunes, #6 on Shazam, #13 on Apple Music, #19 on Spotify, and #22 at Amazon Music.
Increasingly known as a globetrotting mainstage superstar, Billy Gillies has taken to stages all over the world, including North America, Asia, Australia, South America, the UK, and Europe. Along with his own sell-out headline sets, the rising DJ/producer has played top festivals like 2022’s Creamfields, which saw a capacity crowd singing back the instrumental melody of his worldwide hit track “Lagoon.” Gillies is set for a wide array of live performances through the summer, including top-billed dates in Scotland, England, Ireland, and his own beloved Northern Ireland.

To listen to Northern Irishman Billy Gillies is to capture true joy, because everything he touches radiates pure passion and vibrant spirit. Billy’s musical obsession started in the 2000s when his sister started buying Clubland compilation CDs and dating a local DJ. 11-year-old Billy snuck into his sister’s room to play with her boyfriend’s turntables. At 17, Billy talked his way into a club and started dreaming of his own chance to rock a crowd. He taught himself Ableton Live and started sending his tracks to BBC Radio 1 DJ Judge Jules, who played them on his show every Friday night.
At 28, Billy earned a spot on the lineup of Luminosity 2019 alongside major trance legends Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery and more. He played a set of all-original material, and a recording posted to Soundcloud earned more plays than any of the headliners. International booking requests flooded in, sending him to Argentina to Australia—and then COVID struck. Billy saw this as a chance to experiment.
In 2022, he self-released “Lagoon” and it changed the course of his life. A perfect distillation of the Eurodance hooks that brought Billy to Clubland in the early 2000s, the track heightens those bright and bouncy hallmarks with a decidedly modern edge that has come to define the Billy Gillies style.
“I love what I do,” Billy Gillies says. “I’m proud of the way I built up my career by myself. To see so many comments like ‘wow, that’s the first time I’ve seen you play, and you’ve got a fan for life.’ I haven’t jumped straight up to the top. I’ve gradually built me fan base through the years. I enjoy the process of building step by step, not stressing out on the final outcome, and just enjoying each day as it comes.”
