I am very proud of the videoclip, because I made it in a very special collaboration with my mom Joyce Willemse. She is an amazing person, creative mind, artist, and poet. The film is based on an art installation by her.

I wrote Blackbird during the first lockdown here in the Netherlands. I felt inspired by the strength I saw emerging in people, to come together and contribute to a better world. I hope this song will give you hope and strength to hold on to in this challenging time.

That's all friends! Stay safe! :)
