Billy Kenny (artist)

Billy Stephen Kenny is a British DJ. Billy is based between Leeds (UK), California (US), and Hanover (Germany), where his co-owned record label, This Ain’t Bristol, is headquartered.

On April 2, 2018, Kenny was arrested for possessing liquid marijuana at Los Angeles International Airport; his U.S. visa was revoked and all his American tour dates were cancelled.

In July 2020, Kenny was accused of sexual misconduct and removed from the virtual Shambhala lineup he was slated to play on without prior notice. He responded by saying he was "disappointed" in the decision made by festival coordinators, but acknowledged bad behavior in his past. After these allegations surfaced, another female DJ accused Kenny of rape, and he promptly deleted his social media accounts. Much of his music was removed from online catalogues after backlash from both fans and peers within the EDM community.
