Billy Greenwood (born Billy Gene Greenwood, November 1, 1972) is an American on-air radio personality and entertainer. He is the co-host of the weekday radio program Billy and Julie in the Morning,[1] originating on KLOU in St. Louis, Missouri, in addition to having multiple shows in cities across the country.
Early life
Greenwood was born on November 1, 1972 in Newport, Rhode Island. Shortly after his birth, Greenwood's father was relocated to Topeka, Kansas, where in 1975, Greenwood suffered a tragic lawn mower accident partially losing his left foot and right leg, requiring the use of a prosthetic limb.[2] After the divorce of his parents, in 1980, Greenwood's family relocated to Sedalia, MO. He spent the next 11 years in Sedalia, graduating from Smith-Cotton High School in 1991.[3]
Career
Greenwood's radio career started in 1991 at his local radio station, KXKX-FM in Sedalia, MO.[4] The following year, he made the move to cross-town rival KDRO before finally heading out of town to KCMQ in Columbia, Missouri. Within a year he was hosting the "Afternoon Revolution" on WKKX "KIX 106.5" in St. Louis, MO.
In 2000, Greenwood took on a co-hosting job in Raleigh, North Carolina on WQDR before quickly realizing this wasn't the right opportunity for him. Less than a year later, he accepted a midday slot on the legendary WSIX in Nashville, Tennessee. Greenwood would spend the next 10 years working in both Nashville and St. Louis on KSD "93.7 The Bull."
In 2004, Greenwood served as a judge on the second season of the TV series Nashville Star.[5]
