Who Is blythe: Blythe Pepino is a singer, a songwriter, a front woman, an activist and a choir leader. She fronts the band Mesadorm – an alt acoustic-electro indie band which has been hailed on BBC Radio 6 and whose debut album was marked as one of the best alternative albums of 2018 by the Guardian. She writes music in her studio, often on her piano, which can end up in any number of articulations on stage or on the street. Her voice is versatile in emotion as it is in range and tone. Although she has graced stadium size venues in the past she has always coveted smaller intimate gigs and these days prioritises the connection between audience and performer, the communication and the catharsis that can take place or in her words “the laughter in the crying”.
