Biography

Blackbird is a Dutch independent artist from Amsterdam, bursting on to the scene with cool and exciting retro pop sounds. With a powerful voice that recalls Nancy Sinatra, the natural-born performer will charm you with sultry songs filled with vintage guitars and sizzling strings. She sings and she writes. Blackbird: “My songs are about losing your way in life sometimes, but never losing hope”. 
 Inspired by 90’s rockin’ powerhouses like Sheryl Crow and Alanis Morissette, and 70’s legends Joni Mitchell and Fleetwood Mac, the singer started writing her first songs in 2015 on an old acoustic guitar in Berlin. A few of those early writings later became her successful debut EP ‘One Of The Wild Ones’ (with four Dutch radio singles, including Lost In The Middle & The One) in May 2018. That same weekend, she performed them live at the legendary Pinkpop Festival. 
 Blackbird released her self-titled debut album on March 13, 2020. This included the sassy tune Tell Your Mama and nostalgic I'm Like You, which both earned her a TopSong (song of the week) at Radio 2. The album also featured a beautiful cinematic collaboration with the Metropole Orkest. 
 After two thriving club tours with her band, being the opening act for musical heroes Sheryl Crow & Beth Hart, winning the Limburgse Popprijs 2021, Blackbird returned to the studio and is about to release a new EP ‘Green Lights’ featuring radio single Built And Broken.
