Billy Dorsey went from sleeping in a 5th Ward Studio to producing tracks for Lecrae
HOUSTON, Texas, February 12, 2013—On Sunday afternoon, Houston songwriter/producer Billy Dorsey won a Grammy for his work on Lecrae’s chartbusting album Gravity, producing Higher featuring Tenth Avenue North with his team, thebridgelife. The 55th Grammys aired on CBS on February 10, 2013; the Best Gospel Album winner was announced during the pre-show webcast.
“Man, if there is anyone on Facebook who does not believe God is real and is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him, I am proof to the contrary,” Billy wrote on his Facebook wall moments after Lecrae’s album won the Grammy for Best Gospel Album. “God made me specific promises, which I share openly well in advance of Him bringing them to pass, so that all may know the power of the True and Living God. He is amazing, and if He can do this for me, He can and will do this for you. Please, I beseech you, give God a chance!”
Billy’s road success has been far from easy. His first record deal resulted in him dropping out of college only to be held hostage for 7 years to a recording contract that did not yield an album or the financial stability he desired. Dorsey ended up homeless, eventually sleeping in a rat-infested studio in Houston’s 5th Ward.

Houston’s Own Billy Dorsey Receives Dove Award Nomination
Songwriter/Producer Billy Dorsey was nominated for a GMA Dove Award for his work on Lecrae’s Rehab: The Overdose
HOUSTON, Texas, April 17, 2012—On February 22, The Gospel Music Association announced the 43rd Annual GMA Dove Award nominees. Billy Dorsey has credit a songwriter/vocal arranger/engineer on Lecrae’s best-selling album Rehab: The Overdose, which was nominated for Best Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year. Dorsey worked on the album with JayTel (additional vocals), John “CheeseBeats” Williams (writer/producer), and Lecrae (writer).
“I immediately began praising God and shedding tears…look, I know that it’s not a WIN (yet, prayerfully), but to be nominated for the biggest Christian award IS a win in my book,” Dorsey wrote about receiving the nomination on his personal blog, Impeccable Grind, Unstoppable Dreams. “And after all the events of the past few years, and the decade of grinding that JayTel and I went thru to get to the success…I guess it was all just bottled up waiting to come out. The Stellar Award win last month brought elation; this nomination brought true joy to my heart. I have devoted much of my childhood and pretty much all of my adult life to music, because music was my first love, and my gift. For God to bless JayTel and I to have achieved what we’ve achieved is the icing on the cake.”
