Pippa Blundell is a Glasgow grown songstress. Her lyrics are prominent and raw whilst her fingerstyle guitar and layered vocal harmony wraps you in a blanket and hugs you. Her sound is influenced by her classical vocal roots, by the storytelling of folk artists and by contemporary urban tales and ambient sounds, culminating in a modern, hushed and intense experience that soothes yet soars.
Pippa graduated from the Royal conservatoire of Scotland in 2022 with a degree in Mezzo-Soprano voice, initially aspiring to be an Opera singer her passions naturally led her to song-writing and composition. She found her true belonging in the pubs, clubs and venues of Glasgow’s thriving contemporary music scene. Her debut EP, "Sisters," was launched in September 2023 as a set of four stripped back and reflective tracks. Pippa writes, "Sisters is about my constant journey of understanding what womanhood means to me. It’s an interrogation of the women in my life, and the intricacies of being a young woman in her early 20s. It's about how my mother raised me, how she upset me, how she loved me. It's about friendship, understanding love, and being a woman in love. It’s an ode to the messy, and the beautiful. It's about sisters.” In May 2024 Pippa released her single “That’s Fine”, a love letter and reflection on her home city of Glasgow, how the people of Glasgow support each other through struggle with humour, community and togetherness. She recently collaborated with new Scottish producer ROKI on a remix of her track ‘reason’ from the debut EP. Fusing new wave bass electronica with lyrical alternative folk.
