Career

Betts was born in Chipperfield, Hertfordshire, and grew up there along with a twin sister and two younger siblings. [3] [4] After finishing school, Betts moved to London to start a career as a musician. [5] [6] She featured as lead vocals with Macedonian band Foltin on a track on the album Penelope X by Nikola Kodjabashia in 2011, and began to release her own music in 2016. Her music has been described as 'Celtic pop-fusion'. [7] Betts' debut single "Orange Trees" was released in 2016, followed by an EP The Stars Look Down in 2017. [8]

In 2020, she collaborated on Bazzi's single "Young and Alive", which received a nomination for Best Remixed Recording at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. [7] [9] [10] That same year, Betts worked on a cover of "Song to the Siren", a song which had been written by Tim Buckley in 1967, and covered, among others, by This Mortal Coil in 1983. Betts' demo cover was selected by Zack Snyder for the soundtrack to the Snyder Cut, the 2021 director's cut of the DC extended universe superhero film Justice League. [11] Among the critical acclaim for Betts' singing, Jeremy Urquhart at Collider commented in 2023 that it worked "fantastically" and was "one of the best and most memorable in all four hours of Zack Snyder's Justice League" soundtrack. [12] Betts' version of "Song to the Siren" reached a rank of 82nd in the UK Official Singles Sales charts on 1 April 2021. [13]

In December 2021, Betts was interviewed on a BBC Radio 4 episode of Soul Music , exploring the associations of "Song to the Siren" with the feelings of longing, love, and loss that it evokes. Betts explains how she immersed herself in the song, and in the words of the Larry Beckett poem on which it was based, to capture these emotions. [14]

She released her debut album, White Orchids, in 2022. [15] A track from this album "Driving Myself Home" went viral on TikTok. Betts recounts how she wrote the song as a joke, after a blind date, and within a day of uploading it to TikTok, it had 300,000 views. [16] Her 2023 release "Irish Eyes" has garnered over 5 million views on TikTok, and 13 million listens on Spotify. [17] "Driving Myself Home" was featured on Tom Robinson's 'BBC Introducing' show on BBC Radio 6 in February 2022. [18]

In February 2024, Betts announced that she had signed to Nettwerk Music Group, [17] with the release of her single "War". Later that year, Betts worked with Junkie XL (a.k.a. Tom Holkenborg) on several pieces on the soundtrack to Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver , which was released in April 2024. [19] In September 2024, she released "Doodles", described as a 'buoyant Pub anthem'. [1] [20] Betts embarked on a debut tour in the US in September and October 2024, performing at 11 venues. [21] [22] [23]
