Growing up North of New York City in the 1960's, Bill Kates immersed himself in acting, sound and music at an early age, taking on tape recording as a hobby before he was five, and studying classical and jazz music- piano, trombone, harmonica, sousaphone, and singing- shortly after entering kindergarten. His first professional recording was at age 6 with electronic music pioneer Bruce Haack. An early interest in acting and art led to his lifelong study of film and animation, which he continued during his 30+ years in radio broadcasting, producing for major market radio at WBCN, Boston, K-Rock in New York City, and XM Radio (later Sirius/XM) in New York City, where he specialized in unique, musical and comedic radio production.

Bill now resides in Hollywood, where he creates sound design for film, television, games and apps, creates and performs comedy, studies acting, and creates original music. Bill is represented theatrically, for voiceover, and commercially by Aperture Talent Agency.
