Liberty Devitto
DRUMMER, LECTURER, WRITER AND MOTIVATOR. BEST KNOW AS THE DRUMMER FOR 22 OF BILLY JOEL'S TOP 40 HITS
About
I am a drummer, lecturer, writer and motivator. I played on 22 of Billy Joel’s 33 Top 40 hits and toured the world with him for 30 years. My name is Liberty but ironically, for too many years to mention, I was controlled by alcohol and substance abuse. My sobriety has brought me true freedom. Being sober has allowed me to play drums like the 19-year-old I once was. I am strong and healthy. My sobriety has given me back the love of my three older daughters, and a new life with a loving wife and the gift of another daughter. All of this would not have happened had I continued the abuse. I am here to tell you there is life after abuse through sobriety.
“You create more when you’re sober, you play longer and harder. I was in a bubble for 30 years because I was a rock star, but I was still a jerk because of the drugs and alcohol. My life totally turned around when I got into recovery.”
