Billy Howerdel is the founding member, guitarist, songwriter, and producer for the band A Perfect Circle. Howerdel functioned as a guitar technician for Tool during the tour and recording of 'Ćnima,' working with Maynard James Keenan, whom he met in 1992. During this time, Howerdel played Keenan some of his songs, and Keenan offered his vocals if Howerdel ever decided to form a band. Despite originally considering a female singer, Howerdel would eventually accept Keenan's offer. In 1999, Howerdel founded A Perfect Circle, and invited Keenan to join in as the singer.
Billy Howerdel's new band Ashes Divide have officially inked a deal with Island Records and released 'their' debut album on April 8, 2008. Howerdel handled nearly all the instruments in the studio for the release, sans the drums for which he recruited session-man Josh Freese.
