Chuck Billy

Chuck Billy is the powerhouse lead singer of Testament, one of thrash metal’s original Bay Area legends since the ’80s. He beat cancer back in 2001 and came out stronger, often weaving his Native American (Pomo) roots into his life and lyrics. He’s been honored with a California State Assembly recognition for his positive influence on Native communities and snagged a “Best Music Video” win at the American Indian Film Festival for “Native Blood.”
