Part-time singer-songwriter says he's amazed by overnight success
Daily Record
|August 02, 2025
A SCOTS roofer has topped the UK's iTunes chart after outselling top names including Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber and Lewis Capaldi.
Billy Reekie works with his dad on roofing jobs by day but he has built a following after singing cover versions on TikTok.
The 27-year old from Kirkcaldy, Fife, uploaded the track Song That I Sing only to find it at Nol the next morning.
He said: "I put the song out last Wednesday. I never thought much of it. There was no marketing campaign behind it.
"I went to bed and when I woke up the next day, it was at Nol on iTunes. I thought it must be a mistake but it was real.
"I was alongside Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran, people I really look up to."
