He also composed "Love Theme from 'Daniel'" for director Alain Furcajg's film "Daniel (2010)".Billy is the lead singer of the punk band, GarageDogs, with his brothers Paul Hough and Matt Hough. All six of the GarageDogs' LPs, as well as "Scream Along with Billy: The Album" were released by the brothers' own label, GarageDog Records.He is a founding member of the Gold Dust Orphans Theatrical Company of Boston, MA, where he has written (with lyricist and playwright Ryan Landry) the scores to seven original musicals, including "Joan of Arkansas" (2000) and "Cinderella Rocks" (2005).
