Mishkin Fitzgerald (10 Feb 1985 - Present)
Vocal Range: C♯3 - B5
Associated Acts: Birdeatsbaby (2008 - present), HVIRESS (2021-present), The Chemical Perils (2022 - present)
{Vocal Summary}Singer, keyboardist, and main creative force behind English band Birdeatsbaby, Mishkin Fitzgerald's distinctly dry vocals and witchy aesthetic have been among the band's few constant factors during their evolution from dark cabaret to prog-tinged gothic metal. A relatively mid-placed singer, she makes good use of her sardonic-sounding lower register, taking notes from Amanda Palmer's biting, rough-around-the-edges style. However, her high range is also quite clean for the most part, with a soft, light-sounding head voice and a belting register that has grown increasingly capable of power and grit as her music became heavier. All of this, not to mention her incorporation of harsher vocal styles in recent work, allows her to cover an incredible amount of emotional and stylistic ground within a single song. An interesting, extremely talented musician whose voice fits well into an eclectic variety of genres, and one well worth checking out.
