Nocturnal was born William (Bill) Giaurtis in 1989 in Warren,OH where he was raised in a predominantly female family. From an early age he had music of all kinds blended into his head from the likes of Van Halen, to 2pac to The Doors Billl's influences cease to have limits. When Bill was in 1st grade his cousin introduced him to the music of the Insane Clown Posse which had a huge impact on Bill's life. He would continue to listen to ICP and become a juggalo and live his life by the ideals taught by the Dark Carnival; Love, Respect, Equality, and that we are all one big Family. In 6th grade Bill's love for music became more than just that of a fan when he joined up with two of his friends to form a metal/rap band called "Energy X". even tho the band never practiced or played a single song; it sparked Bill's love of writing lyrics. before he reached the 7th grade Nocturnal had 3 notebooks full of lyrics. With each song Bill wrote he began to develop his style of dark, real life situation, horrorcore, and comedic rap. A year later Billl began making music with his cousin Anthony and recorded 8 songs using looped beats from "the Xecutioners" and very...goofy, for lack of a better word, lyrics. In the summer of 2003 Bill went to Ozzfest and was so spell bound by the live performances of Korn,Marilyn Manson, and Ozzy that upon returning home he formed a new band who had 8 practices before kicking Bill out so the guitarists boyfriend could become the new singer. Bill was glad to report the band only had one practice after that and they were done. So, after that experience Bill began to teach himself to play the guitar and recorded two albums of him on a guitar and vocals, using a beat machine for the drums. during the first day of his first album being sold Bill sold 72 copies at 1 dollar each. As the next two years carried on Nocturnal joined up with close to 15 differant bands, performed at his high schools talent shows doing a cover of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" the first year and original songs the following year.In 2007 Bill attended the Trumbull County Career and Technical Center for Copmuter Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) within a few weeks he made friends, joined a new band and met his future partner in music. During the second year of the class (2007) Bill and his new found friend Brent would decide to venutre into rap by forming a group inspired by the Insane Clown Posse called "Nightmare Ninjas". There first song was written and recorded in Bill's bedroom using the built in sound recorder on Bill's computer and had horrible quality but the two saw great potential for growth. The two decided to pick out stage names Nocturnal for Bill and Twilight for Brent (this was before the stupid movie series came out). a few weeks later the two decided to start trying to make their own label under which they could release their music and make money. The label they created is called Zero Zion Records and all right to the name currently belong to them. Near the end of 2007 Brent would have to leave the picture for personal reasons just days before their first show which they put on themselves at the Patio in Middlefield,OH. Nocturnal kept going and made 12 new songs and performed them without flaw at the show which happened to also be his first show as a rapper. Nocturnal's second show would be a month later at Peabody's in Cleveland,OH where he opened for the Insane Clown Posse! Shortly after that he joined forces with Dirrty Dirrt a raw rapper from Warren,OH. The duo would be called the Dead Body Krew. DBK went on to open shows for national artists Potluck, King Gordy, Hedpe, OPM, DGAF, the Dirtball, and many more. in the start of 2009 Dirrty decided he needed a change of pace and left DBK. Nocturnal pushed on opening shows for Twiztid, Tech N9ne, Wolf Pac, Boondox, Prozak and many many more. He also did collaboration tracks with artists all over the U.S. and Canada and by February 2010 Nocturnal had released 6 full length albums. In early summer 2010 Nocturnal joined up with Juggalo Family Entertainment which coincidentally Dirrty Dirrt was and is currently signed. While on JFE Nocturnal did shows with Project Born, Awesome Dre and the rest of JFE's artists. In late June of 2011 Nocturnal decided he needed to leave JFE and take things in a new direction. Since then he has released his 7th album "Dark Days" which is currently out for free download and has begun a massive collaboration album which will feature artists from all 50 states and a few outside countries. Nocturnal continues to grow as an artists, as a musician and as a person and feels very optimistic and confident about his future in the music industry.
