Kingfisher Sky was formed by singer Judith Rijnveld and drummer Ivar de Graaf (ex-Within Temptation), driven by a shared desire to create music beyond genre boundaries. Drawing inspiration from progressive rock, folk, classical music, and artists like Porcupine Tree and Kate Bush, the band has crafted a sound that is both adventurous and emotionally rich.

Their acclaimed debut Hallway of Dreams (2007) quickly put Kingfisher Sky on the map, followed by the equally praised Skin of the Earth (2010) and the crowdfunded Arms of Morpheus (2014).
To mark their ten-year anniversary, Kingfisher Sky released the EP To Turn the Tables (2017), a single, epic track that captures the full breadth of the band’s sound.
With Technicoloured Eyes (2018), the band leaned further into progressive rock while delivering their most personal work to date.

This was followed by the hopeful and symphonic Rise EP (2021), and the intimate acoustic EP Walk the Plank (2022), showcasing yet another facet of the band’s musical versatility.

Their latest album, Feeding the Wolves (2024), sees the band at their most confident and expressive yet—combining lush arrangements, powerful storytelling, and the full spectrum of their diverse musical influences.

With every release, Kingfisher Sky invites listeners on a surprising and immersive musical journey—one that continues to evolve while staying unmistakably their own.
