Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on March 08, 1957)

Happy birthday, Billy Childs! You're such a versatile musician that jazz scales sit up straighter every time you enter the room. Celebrating your remarkable career—from dynamic solos and inspired arrangements to collaborations with legends—you've transformed stages (and Grammy stages!) into unforgettable music journeys.

Whether you're dazzling us as an ensemble member or helming projects like Dianne Reeves' Grammy-winning "The Calling: Celebrating Sarah Vaughan," you've consistently proven one timeless truth: great artists never age—they just hit better notes. Cheers to the man whose brilliance strikes chords louder than his candles can count—keep improvising greatness, maestro!
