Bill Colgate is a bar band singer turned successful actor turned critically lauded and award winning singer/songwriter from Toronto Canada. In 2002 Bill won 2nd Grand Prize Overall in the USA Songwriting Competition.

His winning entry, Let It Be There, was chosen from more than 32,000 songs, sent in from all over the world. It is featured on his debut CD, When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth.

What is a Bill Colgate? Poster boy for mid-life crisis or a somewhat late bloomer? Born in Welland, Ontario, and raised in Toronto, the arc of Bill's professional life begins in the early '70s, fronting such memorable bar bands as Uncle John's Dirty Secret and The All Star Disco Band (currently residing in the 9th Circle of Hell). It was while playing The Nickleodeon (Ronnie Hawkins’ old "Hawk's Nest") that things took a left turn when he was approached by the artistic director of a fledging theatre company with the proposal that he might consider giving acting a try "since you seem to be handling the role of lead singer pretty well."

Twenty years later, when he recorded his first CD, Bill had appeared in every aspect of the profession: stage, screen (BIG and small), radio, cartoon and commercial voice work. He has performed the plays of Shakespeare, Beckett, Shaw and Ibsen but is most often recognized as both the "good old boy" on Relic Hunter (enlisting the aid of Tia Carrere to track down a guitar given to him by Elvis Presley) or as The Singing Pirate from an episode of the children's show "Join In" recorded 15 years ago.

Bill has worked with the following names you may find familiar: Tommy Lee Jones, John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, Diane Keaton, Diane Lane, Virginia Madsen, Kiefer Sutherland, Liev Schreiber, Matt Dillon, Anthony Edwards, Tia Carrere, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Beau Bridges, Joe Mantegna, Sarah Polley, Kyra Sedgwick and Joanna Cassidy. read more.
