Singer, Actor, and Belter...Billy Porter is the man you are looking for when you need a big voice. I have been a fan of Billy's ever since I saw him in the 1994 Broadway revival of Grease, followed by one of my all time favorite movies, The Broken Hearts Club.

I finally got to meet Billy after seeing him at a performance of Mario Cantone's Broadway show, Laugh Whore. Billy was so kind to take a few moments to say hello & take a picture with me.

I am so honored that Billy took time out of his busy schedule to speak with me! Keep your eyes peeled because Billy is on the move...

In this interview, Billy answered my call to share:

• His inspirations
• The highest & lowest note he can sing
• Favorite meal
• Favorite kind of shoe
• So much more
