After 11 gold and platinum records for Columbia, he left BOC in 1986 to pursue other goals. One of his early projects was the formation of the X Brothers.

As the Cult Brothers they toured all over the U.S. from Maine to Florida, Texas to Montana.
After the passing of Billy Hilfiger in 2001, The X Brothers continued to tour as a three piece band until they were joined by Rob Cannavino (Overkill) on guitar and special guest Bobby Hilfiger on cowbell.
