Becky and the Birds

Becky and the Birds is the moniker of Swedish artist, songwriter and producer Thea Gustafsson, one of the most compelling figures operating between experimental pop, R&B, electronic music and leftfield songwriting. Following her 2024 debut album Only Music Makes Me Cry Now, she has built a reputation as a producer, songwriter and creative collaborator with a rare ability to move between worlds, with recent credits including Amyl and The Sniffers and Fred again..’s “You’re A Star”, Don Toliver’s “Pleasure’s Mine” and Dijon’s “The Stranger”. She was named Producer of the Year at the Swedish Grammis and has been spotlighted by Pigeons & Planes as one of Stockholm’s "essential artists to know." She has also become a cult figure online through her connection to the long-circulated, unreleased Drake track “Stargazing”, a collaboration with an almost mythical status among listeners. Onstage, her live show is fluid and constantly shifting, rebuilding songs in real time through improvisation, manipulation and experimentation rather than simply recreating them. She has opened for Robyn at Stockholm’s 3Arena and appeared at Pitchfork Music Festival Paris and C2C in Turin.
