Trixie Whitley has been forging her own musical path for years, balancing between the past and the future with exceptional emotional intensity.
Born in Ghent and raised between Belgium and New York, she was immersed in music from a young age: playing the drums at ten, DJing by eleven, and touring Europe with theatre and dance companies throughout her teenage years. Following her time as frontwoman of Daniel Lanois’ Black Dub and a series of critically acclaimed solo releases, she has emerged as one of the most idiosyncratic and boundary-pushing artists of her generation.
With ‘Folded Time’, her album due for release in autumn 2026 on Unday Records, Whitley opens a new chapter: a nine-track journey through loss, recalibration, motherhood and the slow work of healing. The album was created between Brussels, Brooklyn and Montréal, with Whitley herself on drums, bass, guitar, piano and vocals. She was supported in the process by the likes of Kid Koala, Stuart Bogie and Cem Misirlioglu. Without a rigid plan, but entirely intuitively, she crafted a record that shifts from raw, tribal grooves to intimate, almost gospel-like reflections, constantly seeking the tension between transience and grounding, between trauma and joy.
 Throughout it all, her voice remains the beating heart: warm, open and fearless in touching upon both shadows and light. ‘Folded Time’ confirms Whitley as an artist in full bloom, one who is reclaiming her story, her body and her strength, and transforming all of that into music that crackles with life.
