Pippa Blundell
Emerging from a vibrant pool of artists and creatives based within the city, Pippa Blundell is a rising singer – songwriter already recognised by the Scottish Album of the Year Awards in their ‘Sound of Young Scotland’ nominations across 2023 & 2024, and by BBC Radio Scotland’s Vic Galloway as one of his ‘artists to watch’. Since releasing her debut EP ‘sisters’ in 2023, she has supported the likes of Mercury Prize-nominee corto.alto, Rachel Sermanni, Kaia Kater and Nubiyan Twist. Her debut album ‘common thread’ is due to release on June 6th.
Drawing influence from the storytelling lineage of folk music, whilst also bringing in ambient sounds and classical vocal influences, Pippa’s music draws inspiration from the likes of Anna B Savage, Laura Marling and This Is The Kit with lyrics exploring themes of love, grief and growing up in a complex world.
Pippa graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2022 with a degree in Mezzo-Soprano voice, initially aspiring to be an Opera singer yet her passions naturally led her to song-writing and composition. She found her true belonging in the pubs, clubs and venues of Glasgow’s thriving contemporary music scene. Her debut EP, ‘sisters’, was launched in September 2023 as a set of four stripped back and reflective tracks. In may 2024 she released her single ‘that’s fine’, a love letter and reflection of her home city of Glasgow. She recently collaborated with new Scottish producer ROKI on a remix of her track ‘reason’ from the debut EP. Fusing new wave bass electronica with lyrical alternative folk.
Alongside her performance work she is a dedicated community musician. Specialising in children and adults with complex needs. Pippa has a deep fascination with the human voice and through her facilitation practice has discovered music to be a tool for communication and expression when words are not always an option. Ultimately, she believes that music has the power to drive change in the world and for us all to develop a better understanding of ourselves and of others. Create harmony, spread joy and give a voice to everyone!
Pippa joined Live Music Now Scotland in 2025.
