Anna Marie White was born in the Bronx, NY and grew up in Florida where she began acting and singing. She worked for nearly a decade at The Walt Disney World Company, and her career led her into an impressive amount of television, stage, band and theater work. Anna had roles in many stage productions including Bye Bye Birdie, The Sound Of Music, Annie Get Your Gun, and Footloose. Now a resident of Syracuse, we are fortunate to have Anna in the Billionaires to showcase her lovely voice. In a typical Billionaires performance, Anna will treat you to the music and vocal stylizations of Stevie Nicks, Dua Lipa, Mary J. Blige, Adele, Etta James, and even some Gretchen Wilson.

Daryl Hunt is an outstanding drummer. Originally from Clinton, NY and now residing in Oswego, Daryl fits in perfectly with the Billionaires because of his simple, effective philosophy about playing music. (quote) "Just groove it. 95% of the countless people I've played with appreciate it." One of Daryl's favorite drummers, Herrman Matthews of Tower Of Power has the same style and approach.
Kimo Cortini is an amazing versatile keyboard player. He can do jazz, funk...YOU NAME IT! Not only can Kimo play but he's a great vocalist and he's fun to watch with his comical expressions. Kimo is originally from Fulton, NY and has played for many years throughout the Central New York area. You may know of Kimo from the Cortini Bros. where he plays with his brother Joey.
