Billy Powell's early life was marked by his father's service in the U.S. Navy, which led to his family's relocation to Italy, where they lived for several years. After his father's death from cancer in 1960, the family moved back to the United States, settling in Jacksonville, Florida. Powell's interest in piano began to grow during his childhood, and he started taking lessons from a local teacher named Madalyn Brown, who recognized his natural talent.
