Trixie Whitley (born June 24, 1987) is a Belgian American multi-instrumentalist based in Brooklyn, New York. As the daughter of singer-songwriter Chris Whitley, she has performed on several of his albums. Whitley has released three solo EPs, is a member of Black Dub, and was the vocalist on their self-titled debut album.

In late 2008, producer Daniel Lanois (U2, Bob Dylan, Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, Neil Young) contacted Trixie and invited her to the Berklee College of Music, where he was in residence. Their collaboration on Trixie’s song “I’d Rather Go Blind” – with drummer Brian Blade (Joni Mitchell, Wayne Shorter, Joshua Redman) – was filmed and provoked a buzz in music circles. Soon, with the addition of bassist Daryl Johnson (The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Neville Brothers), a supergroup – Daniel Lanois’ Black Dub – was born.
