A cover of ‘Winter Song’ by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson released for Coppafeel’s christmas compilation available through Bandcamp. At only fourteen-years of age, graceful singer-songwriter Billie Marten was already beginning to fuse mature yet graceful vocals with stunning acoustic arrangements. Having posted video’s on YouTube for 2 years of originals, hauntingly performed on acoustic guitar, Billie has now accumulated hundreds of thousands of views whilst being lavished with complimentary comments. In just 2-years, Billie’s writing ability has evolved at a bewildering pace.
Her debut EP Ribbon is accompanied by other musicians, including a string quartet yet her voice continues to tenderly bewitch. Ribbon was written over the past 9 months when Billie began travelling between London and her hometown Ripon, North Yorkshire to discuss a musical career. The prevailing theme explores a teenagers venture into a business and big city.
