Birthh

BIOGRAPHY

Birthh (Alice Bisi) is a 26 year old Italian singer, songwriter, producer, and explorer. The music Birthh creates often feels other-worldly, yet it’s always rooted in the familiarity of the human experience, exploring the relationship between imagination and reality, searching for ways to move through life while dreaming with our eyes open.

Born and raised in the hills of Tuscany, Alice started writing songs after receiving her very first guitar for her 6th birthday. Before it evolved into an emotional tool and language, Alice played music as a way to pass the hot summer days at her Nonna’s home. As she grew older, writing songs created a therapeutic space in which she could better understand the world around her. Alice’s growing fascination with beats and harmony pushed beyond guitar and vocals, and at 16 she used her life’s savings to purchase a laptop and condenser mic so she could produce and arrange music in her bedroom.

Birthh wrote and produced her debut album, "Born in the Woods” (March 18th 2016, WWNBB collective), during her senior year in high school. The raw nature of these songs caught the attention of music lovers and media outlets across the globe, including Sunday Times, MTV, and Rolling Stone. Expanding her audience further, the singles “Chlorine” and “Senses” were featured on the soundtrack for the Netflix series SKAM Italia.

In addition to headlining shows in Europe, Birthh has performed at music festivals including Primavera Sound Barcelona, SXSW, ESNS, CMW, Ypsigrock, and Home Festival, sharing the stage with PJ Harvey, Mac DeMarco, The Temper Trap, and more. She’s also supported artists on their headlining tours and shows, including Imagine Dragons, Andrew Bird, Benjamin Clementine, Hein Cooper, Mika, and Nick Murphy.

After touring nonstop from 2016 to 2019, Alice went back to her bedroom studio to materialize three years of emotions, thoughts, and experiences into the demos for her sophomore album “WHOA” (March 6th 2020, Carosello Records). This work is a mature yet dreamy immersion into alt-pop soundscapes, a journey shifting playfully between jazz, folk, soul, and hip-hop, as she’s dipping her toes into adulthood, asking big questions about life and earnestly seeking the answers. “WOAH” was subsequently recorded at Quad Studios in NYC by Lucious “Lou” Page (credited for work with Mac Miller, Boyz II Men, Solange Knowles), and mixed by Grammy Award winning engineer and producer Robert “LB” Dorsey (credited for work with the Roots, H.E.R.). The singles, “Supermarkets,” “Yello / Concrete,” and “Parakeet” along with the focus track “Ultraviolet” (featuring Brooklyn based rapper Ivy Sole), garnered interest and appreciation from NPR, Clash Magazine, American Songwriter, Paste Magazine, Music Week, TMRW Magazine, and Wonderland.

“MOONLANDED,” (releasing on September 1st 2023) Birthh’s third studio album, was recorded and produced almost entirely in her home studio, the Moonbase, in Brooklyn. This 10 track journey is the product of a new cycle of Alice’s life, one overflowing with life-changing choices and events. In March 2020, Alice traveled to Brooklyn to be with her life partner and collaborator, Storm. The US borders closed the very next day. During the following two years, oceans away from her family, Birthh faced the COVID-19 pandemic by questioning what it means not just to survive, but to live.

“This is my journey into what it feels like to be a sensitive human in their 20s in the 2020s, through all the pressure coming from within and from the world we were left with. Landing is finding a way to stay present and to love the process, it’s about creating space for ourselves and realizing that each of us is the protagonist in our own story.” - Birthh on her upcoming album.
