Accü is Netherlands born musician and recording artist. The half Dutch half Welsh singer-songwriter moved to rural Carmarthenshire Wales as a child and went on to write in both English and Welsh. She is best known for her works as a singer, songwriter and producer although she also encompasses her work as a visual artist in her live shows as well as in art exhibitions. This was how the alias Accü came into fruition, meaning 'accumulator' in Dutch, reflecting how she gathers and collects her work lyrically, visually and sonic-ally to create her songs. The transition from moving to different countries at 8 years old has given her the gift of knowing every language as a second language.
This created a self made space of detachment, entertaining herself through the making of music, and scripting and filming VHS movies with her other siblings. Being one of eight siblings and now coming from a large family of artists, years were spent escaping boredom with one another in the reclusive rural setting, ultimately paving the way to her musicianship. In 2016 she relocated from Cardiff back to Carmarthenshire, Maesycrugiau to complete her debut album, where she recorded and mixed it in her caravan. To date she has collaborated and recorded with writer and comedian Stewart Lee, the duo Cornershop and frequent collaborator Richard James of Gorkys Zygotic Mynci.
'Did You Count Your Eyes?' is the first single taken from her debut album 'Echo The Red' out later this year on Libertino Records. She performs and produces all the music on this current project. Accü likes to muse over the track: “The chorus was written years ago in my mind. For years the words and melody would continue to revisit and tease me like an annoying lullaby, until last year I began reading Clarissa Pinkola Estés's; Women Who Run With The Wolves. Consequently the once annoying lullaby in my head had decided to reach it's angsty political female puberty and thus, the song was born. Maybe I want to annoy others.”
