Lucy Warr (@lucywarr)
If like many music lovers across the globe, you have spent some time enjoying the sounds of vocal powerhouses Adele, Jessie J, Pink, and Sigrid, then you’ll be in perfect company with one, ‘Lucy Warr’. Hailing from a small town in Somerset, Lucy Warr arrived in London in 2013 with the sole purpose of developing herself as a young woman in music.
This mission is already off to a promising start as Lucy’s live shows captivate unwitting gig-goers across the city with her unique take on the Pop Music genre supported by elements of modern folk and electronica, layered harmonies and vocoders. Her melodies provide power and impact whilst empowering the listener with her messages of hope and positivity, leaving them uplifted. The sensation of a Lucy Warr live show is unmistakable and demands to be experienced in the flesh in order to peer through the mirror her songs provide.
“I believe that music is the purest way to bring light into the world. It has the power to heal and the power to help people reconnect with themselves and I want people to connect. I have not put myself here to tell people what to think or feel, but I know, whatever it is, that it matters. Everything matters now more than ever in a way it didn’t use to before and in this digital age, we have a responsibility to live honestly and to help others do the same.”
Lucy shared with me what it means to be an indie music woman artist:
“It means to be carving a way forward for those to come after us to live in a more equal world with equal opportunities and resources. To stand strong and proud to be a woman in the industry with something I have created. I will not change to fit someone’s ideal of what a woman ‘should’ look like, but do what I know is true to myself, to support other women around me also creating and to rise together.”
You can hear Lucy’s single, “Energy”, on the Indie Music Women’s Spotify Playlist.
