He has worked with many musicians including Tina Turner, Kevin Ayers, Phil Manzanera, 801, Gerry Rafferty,[1] Five Star, Gallagher and Lyle, Ronnie Lane, Kenny Rogers, and Rodney Crowell. Livsey played the keyboard solo on Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to Do with It", and keyboards on "Breakaway" and "Heart on My Sleeve" for Gallagher and Lyle, and on "How Come" for Ronnie Lane.[2] Livsey founded[3] his own publishing company called Quince Music Ltd.[4] in the 1980s, and more recently, Billy Livsey Music, both of which are still active today.
Presently, Billy has a close relationship with Nashville-based recording studio Welcome to 1979 where he often works as a session keyboardist.

At Welcome to 1979 Billy has worked on sessions with a variety of artists like Pete Townshend, Brendan Benson, and The Outer Vibe.
