Who is Bill Leeb?

Wilhelm Anton "Bill" Leeb is an Austrian-Canadian electronic musician.

He moved to Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada with his family when he was 13. He was a high school student at Mount Elizabeth Secondary School.

Leeb began his musical career with industrial band Skinny Puppy under the pseudonym of Wilhelm Schroeder in 1985, contributing bass synth and occasional backing vocals to a few of their recordings and concerts from this period. He left in mid 1986 and formed his own industrial project Front Line Assembly with Michael Balch, and later Rhys Fulber and Chris Peterson. Though Front Line Assembly has had consistent underground success, Leeb's most widely known efforts are through his side project, Delerium, which had a major hit in the late 1990s with "Silence".

Front Line Assembly

Delerium

Leeb lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. His ex-wife, Carylann Loeppky, created much of the artwork for his records over the years.
