Billie Marten

Born in Ripon, North Yorkshire, on May 27, 1999, Isabella Sophie Tweddle's stage name is Billie Marten. A precocious musician, she began publishing her first songs at the age of ten on social networks, achieving viral success that led her to record her first single, "Ribbon", in 2014, thanks to the Burberry brand's artistic development program. Signed by Sony Music's Chess Club label, the young guitarist (since the age of eight) and singer released the EP As Long As in 2015 and performed at the Reading Festival. Selected in the BBC's list of talents to watch for 2016, Billie Marten continued to add new tracks to her repertoire, until the release of her debut album Writing of Blues and Yellows (2016), in a critically acclaimed acoustic folk style. Diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder at the age of eighteen, the artist made a name for herself with new compositions and the recording of her second album, Feeding Seahorses by Hand (2019), with producer Ethan Jones. Her delicate voice and introspective lyrics find a rockier musical form on Flora Fauna (2021), released on Fiction Records and followed by the more acoustic Drop Cherries (2023). Recorded in New York in the summer of 2024 with producer Phil Weinrobe, the album Dog Eared features guest appearances by Sam Amidon, Núria Graham, Mauro Refosco, Shahzad Ismaily and Josh Crumbly. Its release on July 18, 2025 is preceded by the singles "Crown", "Feeling", "Leap Year" and "Swing".
