Velvet Bloom

Velvet Bloom is a genre-defying collective that blends soul, pop, funk, folk, and indie into expansive, cinematic soundscapes. At the centre of this sonic universe is Maddy Herbert—a magnetic frontwoman whose emotive vocals and vulnerable, poetic lyricism invite listeners into a world that feels both deeply personal and beautifully untethered. Her voice cuts through with clarity and compassion, offering a rare kind of authenticity in a constantly shifting musical landscape. Backing Maddy is a powerhouse ensemble of musicians who each bring their own creative identity to Velvet Bloom’s kaleidoscopic sound. Alex Markowitsch’s expressive guitar work and sharp production sensibility shape the band's distinctive tone and texture. Miguel Hutton adds atmospheric richness with his adventurous keyboard work, and Nic Morton’s dynamic percussion provides the heartbeat of the band—grounding their ethereal compositions in groove and drive.
