TRIXI WHITLEY

Trixie Whitley (born June 24, 1987 in Ghent, Belgium) is a singer and multi-instrumentalist with Belgian and American roots. She was involved in various productions by her father Chris Whitley at a young age and became known to a larger audience through her participation in Daniel Lanois' formation Black Dub.

U Since 2013, Trixie has emerged as a compelling solo artist with three EPs, three full length studio albums, and a collection of outtakes and live show recordings entitled ‘SWAY’ (which was released a year after ‘Porta Bohemica’). ‘Fourth Corner’, her full-length debut, co-produced by Thomas Bartlett (The National, Sufjan Stevens, Anna Calvi) and engineer/producer Pat Dillett (David Byrne, St Vincent, The Notorious B.I.G) garnered acclaim from MOJO, Interview, ELLE, Vogue, Relix, The Village Voice, NPR and The New York Times, among many other publications. In Belgium, the album went gold in its first week of sales and earned her a MIA (Music Industry Award) for Best Female Solo Artist. With Eric San a.k.a. Kid Koala, she collaborated on ‘Music To Draw To: Io’, a 70-minute-long sonic space that taps into the story of Io, an unwilling lover to Zeus. Trixie provided vocals on 6 of the 18 songs. Billboard recently premiered their first joint track ‘All For You’.
