Phoebe Chiu is one of those people whom you run into and believe immediately that you’ll like them. Her likeability and gift to appeal to people has to do with not only her honesty but her ardor for life and finding beauty in the simplest of everyday things making art from newspaper and pieces of scrap paper. She is the raw talent of art, dabbling in music, literature, poetry, and collage paintings. A firm believer in faith, Phoebe is able to instill the most weak-minded pessimists that there still are beautiful things in the world. Her childlike world is something that all of humanity could find useful. Creativity is Phoebe’s middle name and she uses it to its full extent, always creating and distributing her songs and pieces of art to those around her, whether they’re friend or stranger. Her music is not only powerful but beautiful, a perfect marriage of poetry and melody, similar to that of Six Pence None the Richer and lightly of Lisa Loeb and Bic Runga. The talent of this young woman has only been touched upon by the world.

Cow’s music is an eclectic gathering of faith, family, and frailty. Her folksy sound is reminiscent of Jenny Lewis’ solo work, infused with a message of Christian wisdom. Her lyrics take the listener on a journey of vulnerability and then bravely deliver them into the hands of lessons learned. Told through her own experiences in heartbreak and disappointment, Cow finds wisdom in the mundane and sometimes tedious world that surrounds us all. Religious without being forceful, Cow’s music is something we can all relate to.
