Billy Idol is a British post punk/hard rock musician, songwriter, and artist. Born on 30 November 1955 in Stanmore, London, England, UK.

After the release of his second studio album "Rebel Yell" in 1983, he became an international rock star and moved to the US to further his career.

Idol's music videos were known for their constant playback on MTV during its early days. His unique blend of punk rock and hard rock influences has earned him a dedicated fan base around the world.

BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

46 years into his recording career, Billy Idol is still the ever-moving myth, the intellectual/feral internet- age bookworm/caveman of our dreams, finding modern language for the fiery, Eddie Cochran-meets- Ziggy Stardust rip’n’roar that he’s been making since he first stepped on stage. And that’s all on The Cage EP - four tracks that engage you like classic Idol, yet keep your eyebrows raised like that stuff you heard coming out of that teenagers’ car that just rolled down the street. “Cage,” the title cut of the EP, may be Billy’s most ferocious and flat-out punk rocker in decades. Billy describes this EP as “a lot more coming at you. Loads more guitar. And that’s a lot of fun.”
