Izzy Bizu Drops White Tiger (Cat Carpenters Remix); Touring with Coldplay

Izzy Bizu is a 22-year-old singer/songwriter from South West London, born to an Ethiopian Mother and English Father. She grew up listening to Ella Fitzgerald, Betty Swan, Betty Wright, and James Brown and draws on these influences alongside newer influences such as Amy Winehouse and Adele, to create a fusion of soul, funk, jazz and pop that sounds classic and brand spanking new all at once.

Being 2016 Brits Critics Choice finalist, The BBC's Introducing Artist of the Year 2016 and chosen as the voice of the 2016 Euros with her cover of Edith Piaf's La Foule, she is quickly proving herself as one of the most exciting breakthrough British artists of the year. Garnering early support from 1Xtra and BBC Radio 1 on her independent six-tracker, Coolbeanz EP, before signing to Sony/RED MUSIC there's been plenty a new fans in the front row thanks to instant classics like 'White Tiger', now with over 75 million global Spotify streams, the heart-wrenching 'Mad Behaviour', and viral Honne collaboration 'Someone That Loves You'.

Drawing on her time moving countries, schools and the relationships that have entailed, Izzy is a cultural explorer, memories, experience and feelings evoking the songs we're soon to hear and the thought-provoking conversation she already provides. Wearing her thoughts on her sleeve, you'll be pushed to find many a debut this honest.

Her debut album, "A Moment of Madness" is out now; and today, the South London born singer/songwriter is debuting the Cat Carpenters remix of her hit "White Tiger," which you can stream HERE.
