William "Billy" Hinsche (born June 29, 1951) is an American musician who was part of the singing group Dino, Desi & Billy.

Background

Hinsche was born in Manila, the Philippines, where his father, Otto "Doc" Hinsche, owned a casino. After World War II, the family moved to the United States and settled in Beverly Hills. Hinsche attended Beverly Hills Catholic High School, where he met Desi Arnaz, Jr. and Dean Paul Martin. The three later formed the group Dino, Desi & Billy and signed with Frank Sinatra's record label Reprise Records.[1][2]

In the late 1960s, Hinsche worked as a session musician for The Beach Boys and toured extensively with the band. His sister, Annie Hinsche-Wilson-Karges, was married to the group's guitarist, Carl Wilson.[1] He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Motion Pictures & Television from UCLA in 1974.

Billy Hinsche has provided backing vocals on recordings for Elton John's "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me," Warren Zevon's "Desperados Under The Eaves," America's "Hat Trick," Joan Jett's "Good Music" and others.
