Rowan Godal

Singer and songwriter Rowan Godel spent her early years absorbing a rich musical tapestry. Her father, a choir master and classical organist and her mother, a classical singer who also enjoyed folk music and sang in folk clubs.

She developed a love of singing and vocal harmony from an early age and went on to study a music and performing arts degree in Brighton, where she met composer and choreographer, Billy Cowie. As her music tutor at the time, Billy recognised her keen musicality and skill as a singer and invited her to work with him on music for his critically acclaimed contemporary dance show, Bird in a Ribcage (songs in Turkish) which toured worldwide.

They have worked together on many subsequent projects including music for Billy's recent shows, Under Flat Sky (world tour) and Attraverso i muri di bruma (Through Walls of Mist) at Fondazione Prada, Milan - for which she also worked on vocal arrangements of songs (sung in German).
