About this event
Trixie Whitley has been charting her own musical path for years now, balancing between past and future with an exceptional emotional intensity. Born in Ghent and raised between Belgium and New York, she was immersed in music from a young age: behind the drums at ten, a DJ by eleven, and touring Europe with theatre and dance companies as a teenager. After a time as frontwoman of Daniel Lanois’ Black Dub and a series of critically acclaimed solo releases, she has emerged as one of the most distinctive and groundbreaking artists of her generation. With Folded Time, the album that is to be released on Unday Records in late 2026, Whitley opens a new chapter: A nine track long journey through loss, reconciliation, motherhood and the slow work of healing. The album came about between Brussels, Brooklyn and Montréal, with Whitley herself on drums, bass, guitar, piano and vocals. She was supported by the likes of Kid Koala, Stuart Bogie and Cem Misirlioglu. Without a rigid plan, entirely intuitively, she crafted an album that shifts from raw, tribal grooves to intimate, almost gospel-like reflection, always exploring the tension between transience and grounding, between trauma and joy. Throughout it all, her voice is the beating heart: warm, open and fearless in touching both shadow and light. Folded Time confirms Whitley as an artist in full bloom, one who reclaims her story, her body, and her power and transforms it all into music that sparkles with life.
