Violet Skies
Intimate, piano-led pop that feels like a whispered secret. Soulful vocals meet minimalist electronic pulses for those quiet, reflective late-night hours.

Violet Skies, the moniker of Welsh artist Hannah Berney, represents a sophisticated intersection of traditional singer-songwriter craft and contemporary electropop. Emerging in 2013 with the critically acclaimed 'How the Mighty', she established a sound identity characterized by 'electro slow-burners' and soulful, stark vocals.
Her career arc is notable for its duality: she is both a highly respected solo artist in the indie-pop sphere and a prolific songwriter for major pop acts like Mabel and Lily Allen. This technical proficiency is balanced by her commitment to the 'sheWrites' initiative, fostering female representation in production and songwriting. Her work often draws comparisons to the atmospheric textures of Massive Attack, yet maintains a melodic accessibility that aligns her with peers like Emily Warren and Navvy. Critically, she is praised for her ability to maintain emotional weight within polished studio environments, often utilizing minimalist arrangements to highlight her lyrical focus on loneliness, self-examination, and the complexities of modern relationships.
