Beatrice Betley is a Vocalist, Composer and Producer dividing her time between Hamburg – Germany, and The Hague – The Netherlands. Rather then focus on one genre, Beatrice sees her musical roots in Jazz of the first half of the 20th century, 80ties Pop, Argentinian Folk and the passionate sounds of Flamenco and Fado. After years of singing Jazz Classics, Beatrice is currently recording her debut album “Upside / Down”. Beatrice describes her music as CrossOver Jazz drawing on strong vocals, traditional Jazz Instrumentals and introducing some modern sounds of EDM.
Music is the one thing that unites people. No matter who we are or where we come from. I am convinced ta before we humans could speak our ancestors were jamming together.
I aim to create music that touches you emotionally - gets under your skin. Wether as vocalist or producer.
Make people realise that more things unite us than divide us. Perhaps then we can all work together on creating a sustainable world and stop killing our mutual home - this planet.
A Mexican folk song called "Cucurucucu" which my dad brought home from his overseas travels. Sung by two sisters wit amazing voices. It installed my love for powerful vocals !!
A-HA, Lenny Kravitz, Ella Fitzgerald, Gregory Porter, Bruno Mars, Adele, Metallica (I love Nothing Else Matters), Queen, Marillion,...quite a mix!
Observing my environment and people. I write about things I notice
Listen to your heart, do not be afraid to be yourself.
Excited, empowerd. I love to see if I move the audience with my voice. I feel privileged to be able to do so.
we are facing the challenges of Algorithms and AI. Both only look at what is listened to today. Therefor the same things/ sound/ similar sounding artist will be put before the audience over and over again. Thi sswill kill creativity as it will get less and less exposure
Feels like a good platform for musicians
That somehow in peoples perception it is not seen as a profession. It is perceived as a hobby and therefor almost seen as a bad thing if you earn money with it.
Going to concerts
Be professional.
