Bio
Rita B (Bianca Meier) is a woman with something to say. She's a Sydney-based Alt Folk artist; raw and honest and makes music to build strength in a conflicting society. Her music is unfiltered, uncorrupted and totally unapologetic.
With her latest self-produced debut album released in September 2017 ’With Pockets Nearly Empty And A Glass Almost Full’ receiving affectionate attention from Sydney locals through FBi and 2SER radio play and through playing an extensive amount of Sydney shows both solo and with her band.
Rita B won the hearts of many through the innocent folk rock vibe that comes with her music, where it seems everything is all peaches and cream, until she opens her mouth and comfortably dishes out all kinds of contradictions and hypocrisies that almost every human being commits.
The breadwinner is all in the lyrics and the fantastically blunt delivery and currently she is focusing on carving her name beyond Sydney's live music and recording scene. Rita B also cuts a mesmerising presence on stage and her one of a kind voice has to be heard to be believed.
