Billy Field was born in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales in 1953, and spent his early years on Widgiewa Station, a large sheep and cattle property near the small Riverina town of Urana, and worked there for various periods until his mid-20s.

Field was originally in a band called King Fox in 1967. The band consisted of Field and Paul Radcliffe (later of Machinations) and issued the EP Unforgotten Dreams on the du Monde label in 1969 as well as a single, "I Think You're Fine", on Festival records in 1972. Field then played in various pub bands in Sydney.

Field's first album was released in 1981, titled Bad Habits (on WEA in Australia and Europe and CBS in the United States). It was arranged and co-produced by Tom Price.

"You Weren't In Love with Me" peaked at No. 67 on the UK Singles Chart in June 1982.

Field established Paradise Studios in Sydney where some of Australia's biggest names have recorded albums, including Air Supply, Cold Chisel, INXS, Paul Kelly, Icehouse, The Models, Absent Friends and the Angels.
