Billy Joe Armstrong is an American singer, songwriter, musician and guitarist. His interest in music developed from a very young age. His father was a jazz musician and bought him his first guitar and thus his tryst with music began. When he was five-year-old, he recorded his first song ‘Look for Love’. He learnt to play the guitar from George Cole for almost ten years. He also learned to play the drums, piano, harmonica and mandolin. He formed a band called,‘Sweet Children’ along with childhood friend Mike Dirnt. Two years later, they formed the band ‘Green Day’ along with other friends. ‘Green Day’s’ most famous hit is the rock opera, ‘American Idiot’ which fetched them many awards and was also made into a Broadway musical in which Armstrong himself acted. ‘Green Day’s’ other albums include ‘Kerplunk’ and ‘Dookie’. He has penned the lyrics for a number of songs,for singers like Penelope Houston and bands like ‘Rancid’as well as‘The Go-Go’s’. He is the co-owner of the recording company, ‘Adeline Records’.
