Pitou

Dutch artist Pitou’s musical awakening came from an unlikely source. At a very young age, Pitou (both her first, and stage name) started to develop an unexplainable interest in classical music. Her father would often find her crouched down by the radio, scrolling through stations, in search of the sound of orchestras and choirs. From the age of 9, Pitou sang in a children’s choir, performing at the baptism of Catharina-Amalia, the Princess of the Netherlands, and in internationally renowned orchestra halls. From these musical experiences came the desire to create her own musical worlds. Songs and admirers quickly ensued. Like Elbow frontman Guy Garvey: ‘It's not just an extraordinary vocal performance, it's the details in the lyrics. This has come from somewhere very instinctual. It's really stunning.' Pitou released her first EP 'Pitou' in 2016, followed in 2018 by her second EP 'I Fall Asleep So Fast'. Her debut record Big Tear came out in 2023: "one of the most beautiful indie-pop records of this moment” Madam Figaro [FR] “debut full of small miracles” Knack/Focus [BE] “a world class record” De Volkskrant [NL] A new song will be released on september 19th, 2025. She played renowned venues such as Paradiso, Ancienne Belgique, Het Concertgebouw, and festivals such as Pukkelpop, Rock Werchter and Best Kept Secret. Her music was broadcasted by BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6 (UK), FiP radio (FR). https://www.pitoumusic.com/
