Billy Nomates, the moniker of British singer-songwriter and musician Tor Maries, is a defiant and compelling figure in the contemporary indie music scene. With a stage name that evokes a sense of individuality and nonconformity, Billy Nomates burst onto the scene with her self-titled debut album in 2020, which was received with critical acclaim for its incisive lyrics, post-punk energy, and electronic undertones. Tracks such as "No" and "Hippy Elite" paint a vivid picture of societal fringes and articulate a sense of disenchantment with the status quo, all delivered with a blend of raw honesty and biting wit that characterizes her work.

Following the success of her debut, Billy Nomates continued to build her reputation as a powerful voice with releases like "Emergency Telephone", a 2021 EP that further showcased her ability to mix punk ethos with melodic sensibilities. Her subsequent releases, including songs like "CACTI", "vertigo", "spite", and "saboteur forcefield", display her evolution as an artist who is not afraid to tackle personal struggles and broader socio-political issues. With profound themes ranging from mental health to economic struggle and individual empowerment, her music resonates with a growing audience that finds solace and inspiration within her distinctive sound and unapologetic storytelling.
