Kizzy Crawford is a dynamic singer-songwriter, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist blending soul, folk, jazz, and funk into a sound that’s entirely her own. Bilingual and bold, her music weaves together rich storytelling with a deep sense of place and identity.

Kizzy launched her solo career at just 15, and by 17 had signed to BDi Music publishing. Since then, she’s built a body of work spanning recorded music, theatre, TV, and live performance. Five of her original songs were selected for the WJEC A-Level and GCSE music syllabus in Wales, where they continue to be studied alongside Welsh icons like Gruff Rhys and Super Furry Animals.

Kizzy’s music has been championed by BBC Radio 1, 2, 4, 6Music, Jazz FM, BBC Radio Cymru, and BBC Radio Wales, with her single Progression added to Jo Whiley & Simon Mayo’s BBC Radio 2 playlist, and featured on Craig Charles’ Funk & Soul Club Volume 6.

She has performed at many festivals including Glastonbury, Festival No. 6, London Jazz Festival, WOMEX, Hay Festival, Celtic Connections, Brecon Jazz Festival, Blissfields, Cornbury and more. Her live work has also taken her across Europe and Canada, including appearances at M for Montreal and the Prince Edward Island Festival with support from PRS Foundation. Recent festival highlights include Trawsnewid in Aberystwyth, HowTheLightGetsIn in Hay-on-Wye and FOCUS Wales in Wrexham.

In theatre, Kizzy starred in the title role of the award-winning show Petula for National Theatre Wales, and in Byd Dan Eira for Theatr Bara Caws. Kizzy has also worked in television, appearing as PC Emma Jones in the award-winning Keeping Faith / Un Bore Mercher, as well as a role in Gwaith/Cartref. She has also done presenting work for S4C and BBC One Wales.

As a composer for radio and screen, her credits include the BBC documentary June: Voice of a Silent Twin, the short film Complexity of Skin, Simple Acts for National Theatre Wales and two seasons of original music for S4C’s children’s show TiPiNi.

As a composer for theatre, her credits include Death of a Fool for Welsh National Opera, and productions by Krystal Lowe: Daughters Of The Sea for Ballet Cymru, and Swyn, for Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru.

In 2018, she collaborated with jazz pianist Gwilym Simcock and Sinfonia Cymru on Birdsong – Can Yr Adar, inspired by the Celtic rainforest of Carngafallt. The project toured Wales and the London Jazz Festival, and was later released by Basho Records.

Whether performing live, scoring for screen, or creating for the stage, Kizzy Crawford continues to push creative boundaries, amplify underrepresented voices, and redefine what contemporary Welsh music can sound like.
