BILLIE MAREE
Billie writes and performs deep-feeling folk-esque songs, the quality of their vocal has been likened to Sandy Denny and Judy Tzuke. They are, however, very much their own artist with a strong and infectious sense of spirituality and self.
“I have had really meaningful experiences watching or listening to music that were catalysts for emotional release. I have had similar feedback from people at my performances” says Billie Maree.
Inspired by an upbringing in the landscape of Devon, their debut EP We Belong reflects the nuances of human experience – with a focus on accepting all parts of ourselves, the shadows and the light. Calling in a sense of belonging.
They self-produced and mostly self-recorded the debut EP, Each song was written about moments that moved Billie during the darker months of Winter. Billie was inspired to learn how to record and edit their own music as they wanted to have as much input into their creation as possible.
