He was a firefighter and first responder in Union City, Tennessee from 1999-2001. Hodges had been working as the recreational director for Marcus Point Baptist Church in Pensacola, Florida prior to joining the Kingdom Heirs; it was his return to performing Gospel music.
On October 30, 2010, Billy announced that the problems he was having with his voice in the summer of 2010 had been identified as a lesion on his left vocal cord, and that this made it necessary for him to leave the Kingdom Heirs as of January 2011. After taking vocal rest, he returned to singing as a soloist, and did so at Dollywood for three years. He now travels and sings as a soloist, with his family taking part as well.
