2016: Billie Marten

Billie Marten performs at the 2016 BBC Music Conference.

Billie Marten is a 17 year-old singer songwriter from Ripon in North Yorkshire, who first came to wider attention thanks to BBC Introducing. Since welcoming the year in on the BBC’s Sound of 2016 List, Billie has made her US debut to a packed, appreciative room for BBC Introducing in Texas at SXSW, had a very busy Summer festival schedule and released her debut album ‘Writing Of Blues And Yellows’ in September to unanimous critical praise.
