I'm Billie Rogue, an artist from Toronto, Canada. My music is within the realms of industrial, metal, electronic rock, and dark electro. I'm known for my, rather, 'unisex' vocals and deep mezzo-contralto range. Largely inspired by Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, and Bjork (honorable mentions include: Slipknot, Korn)--I recently became known for my varied-sounding songs on my my debut EP, Eclectric, released June 18th, this year.
Being an underrepresented artist, I wanted to take this opportunity with Smple to find a community for me, and grow a stronger fanbase that'll nurture my career going forward. I'm also here to show my city, Toronto, some much needed feminine-edge and represent the underground metal-rock scene ;)
Thank you so much for reading and I hope to be considered for this project.

Despite steady gains this year, it hasn’t even come close to its November 2021 peak, and now things are about to get shaken up like a bead in a baby’s rattle w...
In Ari Aster’s 2016 short film C’est La Vie, Chester Crummings, a homeless man, speaks directly and combatively to camera about his life and society at large as he wanders the streets of LA, surviving, begging for change and casually murdering people. At one point, he says: “You know what Freud says about the nature of horror? He says it’s when the home becomes unhomelike. Unheimlich.”
