Notting Hill Music Celebrates Writer Billy Boyd as California Schemin’ Arrives in Cinemas

This April marks an exciting moment for Notting Hill Music as the highly anticipated film California Schemin’ arrives in UK cinemas, bringing to the big screen the extraordinary true story of our writer Billy Boyd.

The film (made by James Mcavoy) tells the story of the Scottish rap duo Silibil n’ Brains who famously reinvented themselves in pursuit of success in the music industry - an audacious journey that captured global attention and has since become a modern music industry legend. At the heart of that story is Billy Boyd, whose creativity, determination, and belief in his music helped shape an unforgettable chapter in pop culture.

Today, Billy continues to write and create with the same spirit that defined those early years. His work reflects a deep passion for storytelling and a commitment to authenticity—qualities that resonate strongly with audiences and collaborators alike.

At Notting Hill Music, we are proud to represent Billy as part of our global roster of songwriters and creators. The release of California Schemin’ offers a timely opportunity to celebrate his journey, his catalogue, and his ongoing contribution to music.

California Schemin’ is released in UK cinemas this April. Watch the trailer below.
