Bill is a musician, singer and songwriter. He was born near Drakesville, a small town in rural southeastern Iowa. Bill was always blessed with musical abilities and at the age of 14 began singing, playing guitar and mandolin and writing songs. He has played in several local country and gospel bands and is a popular musician, singer, and songwriter who enjoys a following from people who have heard him perform at churches, concerts, shows, and county fairs in Iowa, Missouri and Illinois. Though influenced by the works of Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty, George Strait and Del Way, Bill has developed his own songwriting abilities and performs his own material. Shepherd also states that if he was to pick one songwriter/artist that has influenced him the most, he would pick Del Way. Del Way's songs have helped him through some very hard times, and Bill appreciates this very much. He thanks God that there are songwriters and singers who write and sing from the heart with feeling. Bill also wants to thank Chris Hunter at Studio 16 for his help, advice and friendship. Music is Bill's life and he is a dedicated Christian who has devoted his life to Gospel and Country Music.
