Introducing Beatrice Betley, a German-born composer, producer, and vocalist with a global twist. She may not have grown up in Germany, as her family moved to the Netherlands when she was just five years old. Living there exposed her to diverse cultures and languages, igniting her curiosity and love for music.

Beatrice’s childhood was a colorful mix of singing, dancing, and painting. Instead of being confined to German Schlager or Wagnerian Opera, she fell in love with the melodies of Mexican Mariachi, Jazz, Samba, Argentinean Folk, Fado, Country Music, and Caribbean Steel Drums. Her father’s LPs, collected from his travels, opened her ears to a world of captivating tunes.

At 13, faced with a choice between music classes and art, Beatrice followed her heart and dove into the world of art. She studied Fashion Design in Hamburg and Florence, but soon realized that her creative outlet was limited in the design industry. Undeterred, she pursued her passion for creativity and explored marketing and market research alongside her fashion endeavors.

Beatrice’s journey took her on diverse paths, including becoming a Visual Merchandising Manager for a pan-European retailer and working in sales and marketing for a global importer. Along the way, she even created and patented the original Holsterbag, which gained attention and garnered nominations for design awards.

While achieving success in various fields, Beatrice never forgot her true calling. She continued to write, perform, and collaborate on music projects. In the midst of the global pandemic, she fearlessly recorded her first solo vocal Jazz album “Upside | Down”, defying the challenges posed by lockdowns and restrictions. Embracing technology, she collaborated with musicians and producers remotely, capturing the essence of her music from her home studio and even a garage in LA.

Eager to share her knowledge and empower other musicians, Beatrice decided to launch an online course teaching how to write music using a digital audio workstation (DAW). Her approach is all about putting the soul of a song at the forefront, rather than getting caught up in the technicalities. Through her course, she aims to inspire passionate musicians to create authentic, heartfelt music.

With her unique background, boundless creativity, and dedication to music, Beatrice Betley is an extraordinary force in the industry. Her journey is a testament to following one’s passion, embracing diverse influences, and fearlessly pursuing dreams.

Beatrice is a member of the AWFC, WBII and associated with the PRO GEMA. Her publishers are Not A Fox Publishing.
