About Bilal Ahmad Kaakati
Bilal is an inquisitive creative with a background in content creation for Film, Television, and Gaming. Ever since he was old enough to hold a controller, Bilal has held video games close to his heart as a key driving force in his creative aspirations.

Shifting into the world of Esports, Bilal refined his experience in cross-functional team focused work to bring many ambitious projects to life for the Canadian based Lazarus Esports. Significant works include the Chevrolet/NHL Shootout Showdown, and Lazarus x Riot Games Creator Crossover.
Today, Bilal continues to showcase his love for gaming and the creative arts through his YouTube channel, BillPill, where he scripts, narrates, captures, and edits all his produced content. His channel has amassed a dedicated following of video game and video game music enthusiasts.
