Typh Barrow
Musical artist

Typh Barrow (born 10 May 1987) is a Belgian singer, songwriter, jurist, composer and pianist, who was born in Brussels. Her style is a mixture of pop and soul music, with jazz and blues accents.
She is considered by the press to be the Belgian Adele or Amy Winehouse.
01Beginnings
Barrow began piano at age five, scales at eight, and wrote one of her first songs at twelve. At fourteen, she started taking singing lessons.
She learnt live performing in numerous piano bars and met her future producer and manager, François Leboutte. He had her record her first demos before launching her in the profession.
At the end of 2012, she released her first single, "Your Turn", which was warmly received by Belgian radio stations and was the most played song in the French-speaking part of Belgium in 2013.
Before the release of her first EP, she lost her voice during a live show due to a vocal fold cyst. She had to remain silent for several months to avoid undergoing an operation that might have made her lose her voice tone.
02Success
In 2013, Barrow started posting piano-voice covers on YouTube, which quickly achieved millions of views. Her cover of "Gangsta's Paradise" was noticed by the rapper Coolio, its original interpreter, who called it the best cover of his hit.
In 2014, she released two EPs: Time, which contained original songs and recorded in Paris, London and New York in collaboration with Tom Coyne and Volodia, and Visions, a cover EP she offers to her internet followers.
Among her most famous tracks are "Time", "To Say Goodbye", and "No Diggity". All of these tracks made the radio charts and the double EP spent several weeks in the official charts.
Following the success of these songs, she was invited to appear on TV shows, to give concerts across Europe , as well as to perform at festivals such as Les Francofolies de Spa, the Brussels Summer Festival and the Festival de Cannes.
In 2015, the RTBF music show D6bels on Stage dedicated a special edition to Barrow and the news broadcast of the same channel mentioned her among the favourites of the Francofolies de Spa's 2015 edition.
In 2016, she went to London to record her next album at Abbey Road studios, which has preserved the equipment used in the 1960s. She notably worked with Dimitri Tikovoï, Danton Supple, as well as the funk, jazz, hip-hop and soul collective The Heliocentrics. "The Whispers", the first single from these recordings, was released in March 2016.
In January 2017, she was nominated for the D6bels Music Awards in the categories "Female Artist of the Year" and "Artist Classic 21". She also released a new song, "Daddy's Not Coming Back".
On 13 October 2019, she was among various artists (including Yannick Noah, Christophe Maé, Black M, and James Blunt) to perform at RTBF's Cap48 event, (a fundraising event held mainly to help those with disabilities in the French and German communities of Belgium). The event aired live on RTBF.
She served as a coach on The Voice Kids Belgique from its second season to its third season. She won the third season with her artist Ilena Vigna. She also served as a coach on The Voice Belgique from 2019 to 2022.
