Yby Potlatch X
Film composer and recording artist

Cinematic, emotional and world-inspired music for film, television and storytelling.

Yby Potlatch X is a visionary tone artist, vocalist and composer whose music blends spiritual depth, raw emotion and cinematic sound design. Working with tones, chants, breath and soul-language expressions, she creates immersive sound worlds shaped by nature, ancestral memory and the unseen energies of life.

Her voice moves between ritual, ambient, world and electronic textures, forming a unique signature that feels both ancient and futuristic. Deeply connected to the natural world, she creates in conversation with the sea, the wind, animals and the earth itself.

Having lived through powerful and transformative chapters of life, including years on the streets, her sound carries truth, resilience and a rare emotional honesty. These experiences give her work an unmistakable intensity that resonates across cultures and genres.

Her compositions are highly suitable for film, television, documentaries, modern dance, theatre, meditation and visual storytelling — offering rich atmospheres of mystery, emotion and inner movement. From intimate emotional scenes to expansive cinematic landscapes, her music supports storytelling on a deep and intuitive level.

Based in Friesland, The Netherlands, Yby Potlatch X creates and produces all works independently. Her full catalog is available for licensing worldwide.

As a multidisciplinary creator — painter, composer, tone artist and world-builder — she transforms silence into magic, and life into sound.
