Born in Australia but spending her teenage years in Weybridge, Surrey, Lucy fell in love with London's music scene. Influenced by No Doubt, Smashing Pumpkins, The Cranberries and Radiohead and learning the guitar aged 13, Lucy wrote her first song at 17 and from that moment she knew she wanted to be a songwriter. After heading back to Australia to study song writing, she visited the UK five years later and within four weeks of arriving she was offered a support slot with Jamie Cullum at the HMV Forum where Q Magazine described her as a 'gifted performer in the making".
