Billy Martin
Pseudonym used by Paul McCartney
About
You recorded your first album (McCartney) under the pseudonym BILLY MARTIN.
Well, sometimes if you don’t want people to know that you’re recording at a place – it’s quite widely done now – you use a fake name. For two reasons, really: fun and privacy. I think there’s a big character in American baseball called Billy Martin so that’s where the name came from.
