Experience

Bill Lamb is a music and arts writer with decades of experience covering the worlds of pop, rock, and entertainment. He got his start by writing about the history of dance and disco music in 1999. Bill then began writing about music for ThoughtCo (formerly About Education) in 2005.  Bill enjoys sharing his passion for and insight into the music world, and he takes pride in pointing his readers to major hits (like Adele's "Rolling In the Deep") long before U.S. pop radio discovers them.
