Music Gateway’s mantra is to ‘empower independent artists’ by providing services across Playlisting, Radio, Press and Digital Media, so the natural progression to working with SongBits is helping rocket fresh and untapped talent to the forefront while allowing fans, family and friends to be a part of their trajectory. The perfect example of this is Music Gateway’s Phoebe Willo, whose upcoming first release of her song ‘Lost in the Music’ with SongBits will be one of the largest in Music Gateway’s history to date.
Phoebe Willo is a 20-year-old singer-songwriter, pianist, ukulele player, and guitarist. Inspired by artists like Lorde and Billie Marten, Phoebe describes her music as fitting into the "Indie Pop" genre, although she appreciates various styles.
Phoebe made her debut with the release of her first song in September, 2022. Within a week, she gained nearly 10,000 listeners and secured a spot on Spotify's "New Music Friday" playlist. Her song, "My Friend Sarah Tonin," written during the Covid lockdowns, emphasises the importance of friendship and the joy it brings during isolation.
Phoebe sees songwriting as her calling and isn't interested in fame or fortune. However, she's thrilled when people enjoy her music. Phoebe’s new single “Lost In The Music” is set to be released on July 21st with a SongBits sale, marking a milestone for both companies as well as Phoebe.
Talking about the new single, Phoebe shares: “I wanted to write a song about what happens when we allow ourselves to really immerse ourselves in a great track. Music has an almost magical power to wrap around you when you need it, like therapy. You can completely lose yourself in a song and all your stress dissolves as the song takes you over.”
Phoebe Willo’s upcoming track ‘Lost in the Music’ will be released on the 21st of July 2023, with the SongBits sale starting a week later on the 28th.
