Blackbird Music

Blackbird is a Dutch, independent artist from Amsterdam, bursting on to the scene with cool pop sounds. Songs that are filled with vintage guitars, catchy hooks and soaring strings. With a powerful voice - and not afraid to dive into lots of different kinds of music styles - the natural-born performer sings and writes about personal freedom, resilience, loneliness and longing for adventure and happiness.

Inspired by rockin’ powerhouses like Alanis Morissette, Joni Mitchell and Fleetwood Mac, the singer started writing her first songs on an old acoustic guitar in Berlin, winter 2015.
 A few of those early writings later became her self-titled debut album which Blackbird released in March 2020.
 This body of work that’s been given high praise included the sassy tune ‘Tell Your Mama’ and nostalgic ‘I’m Like You’. The album has already accumulated over 6 million streams and also features a striking cinematic collaboration with the Metropole Orkest. She performed the songs live for the first time at the legendary Pinkpop Festival.

After two thriving club tours, winning the Limburgse Popprijs and being the opening act for musical heroes Sheryl Crow and Beth Hart, Blackbird and her band had their biggest summer festival season in 2023 playing Paaspop, Bospop and Zwarte Cross.

Blackbird released her sophomore album 'Pink Shades' to be released November 17. Featuring the radio singles 'Down Down Down Down', 'Built And Broken’ and ‘Stay Or Go’'. That last one became her 6th NPO Radio 2 TopSong.
