Born in February 17, 1972, in the dreariness of Rodeo, California, Billie Joe Armstrong opened his eyes in this world.
At the age of five, Billie Joe recorded his first single, "Looking for love." Then he got to record his first song, "Look for Love" at a local recording company named Fiat Records.
Sadly his father, Andy Armstrong, died of cancer when Billie Joe was just 10 years old. At the age of 15 Billie began his first band named, Sweet Children. However, they later changed the name to Green Day.

My band, End Of Silence |
Billie Joe is my hero because he has inspired me to start my own band and write my own music. If it weren't for him I would have never done what I do today, and my band-mates think so too.
