Billy Hoffman (born in Arkansas and raised in Poteau, Oklahoma[1]) is an American country music singer. Hoffman was born with a hearing problem and is only three percent away from being deaf. He also learned to play guitar to gain dexterity after being born with underdeveloped hands.[2]

In 2000, he was the first artist signed to Critter Records, which was managed by Joe Stampley.[3] Stampley produced Hoffman's debut album, which included a cover of Paul Davis' "I Go Crazy."[4] Two singles from the album charted on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.[5]
