Meet Stevie Bill, the Dutch girl from Amsterdam who lives in New York City. She writes about change, the heartbreaks of life, the joy of being a girl, and the nostalgic feelings you get in your twenties. She describes herself as a classic songwriter with a twist, blending oldies with R&B vocals, folk, and rock influences. Following an impressive run of live support shows with Nieve Ella, Aidan Bissett, and opening at BST Hyde Park for Stevie Nicks, Stevie Bill has just announced her own headline tour titled ‘I Was A Platinum Blonde Tour’ throughout the UK. Tickets will be available from Friday 9th of August at 10am here.
Born to an English mother and a Dutch father, Stevie Bill moved to Berlin at 17 to develop as a songwriter and vocalist. In Berlin, she worked in studios and wrote songs for other artists such as Rei Brown, Joji, Casey Lowry, Daine, Daya, Abigail Barlow, Gayle, and Daniel Leggs. Stevie later attended the prestigious Clive Davis Institute at NYU, graduating in 2023.
Her debut EP ‘Messy’ introduced the world to the reflective nature of Stevie Bill as she pondered on her youth and the chaos around her. The EP quickly received praise from a multitude of tastemakers such as BBC Radio 1 Future Pop, Radio 1’s Future Alternative, Billboard, Earmilk, and The Line of Best Fit, labeling her a rising Gen Z pop talent. Following this in September 2023, her song ‘Hahaha’ became a viral hit across the alternative pop space.
2024 saw the release of Stevie’s latest single, ‘Girl’ which celebrates the happy feelings and moments we share as girls. From wearing the same socks three days in a row, our messy rooms, and our weird habits to the sweetness we carry in our hearts. Along with ‘Girl’, Stevie’s latest release ‘Lalala’ on Friday 02 August, will both feature on her upcoming EP which narrates the experience of change and acceptance of growing into adulthood.
Stevie on the EP: “When I started writing these tracks, I was in a place of change, heartbreaks, girl power, meeting new friends, and moving to new places. I grew out my platinum blonde hair and changed it back to my natural brown. I was going back to my roots and everything I stand for. With this EP, I’m taking you with me on my journey of adulting.”
‘Lalala’ is a song about blasting your favourite song on repeat. Stevie talks about the inspiration behind the track saying ‘Some might not know this about me but I am quite a party girl. Growing up with my parents hosting frequent gatherings at home sparked my passion for hosting and now even DJ-ing, including the all-girls’ nights I organize with my friends in New York. Dancing and nightlife are genuine outlets and hobbies for me—they’re where I really let loose. The right music can truly elevate the night and make it unforgettable. I wanted to write a fun song, a song to strut down the street to with your headphones on, a silly song that’s not to be taken too seriously.’ Listen to ‘Lalala’ here.
