BIO

UK native Fonteyn spent her formative years pursuing Musical Theatre and acting in England, but it wasn’t until she started making music that she felt able to express herself authentically. Writing songs provided a home for her idiosyncrasies to coexist. Bewitched by the sound of the 70’s, Fonteyn draws from her musical idols, Carole King, Todd Rundgren and Paul McCartney, to name a few. Her debut album “Trip the Light Fantastic” offers music centered around rainbow chords and melody. The songs are playful, sentimental, and offer a sense of the theatrical. Fonteyn wants to take you by the hand and sweep you into another time and place. “Trip the Light Fantastic” is an introduction to Fonteyn’s songwriting and musical soundscape. Drawing from a rainbow of influences in 1970’s pop, the album is a hedonistic exploration of melody with each song in pursuit of a particular musical feeling.
