Bio / Background
Brythonwen is the Welsh name of the Welsh-American singer and composer, Bettina Sheppard. The powerful mood and energy of her new album Solus is inspired by her childhood in Wales and reflects its raw nature of passion and beauty. Sometimes forceful and driving, sometimes moody and mystical, the music is often imbued with images of nature. Celtic folklore comes alive in the vivid and expressive music of her latest original compositions and arrangements of traditional Welsh songs. Her childhood playground of Caerphilly Castle in southern Wales provided a rich heritage in the stories and music of the druids and fairies. The language of Tylwyth Teg is an integral part of her music, as is the Welsh language. She says, “I played in Caerphilly Castle as a child. How could I help but see images of centuries past.” The dark, mystical quality of her songs is enhanced by her long-term classical studies in piano and voice.
