Bill Millikin played his first professional gig at the age of 16, filling in on alto sax with The Cyril Paul Band. At 17, he composed his first original score for ?A Midsummer?s Night?s Dream?, performed by the theater company at Loyola Academy in Chicago. After attending the School of Music at the University of Illinois, Bill spent 10 years touring the country with ?One-Eighty?, a Pop/R&B band based out of Champaign, Illinois. He performed on several records with the band ?Champaign?-Columbia, co-writing their hit ?Let Your Body Rock? in 1982. Bill later started Creative Mills Productions (scoring for radio/TV, jingles) while becoming Senior Music Director at Studio Center in Virginia Beach, winning the 1994 Addy for ?Best Instrumental Score?, then returning to the Midwest as Creative Director for Clear Channel Broadcasting.
Today Bill runs Creative Mills Productions full time, enjoying success as a composer, producer, and performer.
