“Don't know. Sorta feels good. Sorta stiff and that, but once I get going... then I like, forget everything. And... sorta disappear. Sorta disappear. Like I feel a change in my whole body. And I've got this fire in my body. I'm just there. Flyin' like a bird. Like electricity. Yeah, like electricity.” - Billy E.

My work has spanned Italy, Cayman Islands, Bahamas, Hawaii, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Austin, San Diego, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Miami.

Indie mouth, electronic feet. LA based organic/melodic house musician and producer Tim Lacatena just released his third single, “Secret of the Fair”.
With burning electronic beats and a silky raw voice raised on Duran Duran, Lacatena combines a whiff of nostalgia with a need to dance in a moonlit rave. Distant cousin of Erasure and Kid Francescoli. Lacatena’s early singles provide a first glimpse of an artist in bloom.
“If you time it right might catch a flash of the boy who bends the tide.”
“Billy Electric”
Discography
From synth-flaunting electropop to deeply personal storytelling, Lacatena’s debut album provides the first glimpse of an artist in bloom.

We are the Billy Electric, flicker through the street, with all respect here to do our thing.
Vapor Tail
Through the vapor tail we play, no sorrow here.
Secret of the Fair
How lucky how lucky, they circle through the air, hurry and you may catch a secret of the fair.
