So I am here to write my bio, and I could start with all the “born at…”, “studied under…”, went to….”, “moved to….”  …. But, and this is the truth, let’s say it together: you don’t really care. Right?

So here is what you need to know about me:

I have long curly hair that gets in the way of EVERYTHING, but which I wouldn’t cut for anything. I have big blue eyes and tend to talk too much, babble, in fact, I think is the term most often used…. By me, anyway.

I melt at the sound of an Irish accent and can usually be bought for a plate of spaghetti or a bowl of ice cream. I work in retail to pay the bills, and spend my free time reading, watching movies, looking at people and staring at walls…. And yes, most importantly, writing songs - and singing them to those willing to listen. And others, too.

I’ve always been surrounded by music and have been singing since I was 7-years-old, but my early career was purely classical. Went to a music academy high school, which might, perhaps, explain why when writing songs I often need to consciously avoid writing melodies that sounds like they were written by a Bach-wannabe with a concussion....  I studied with a wonderful voice teacher whom I shouldn’t name without her permission, and still have a tremendous passion for baroque music. 

 I got a guitar when I was 15, though never really learned to play it till I was 22... When I went to college I started singing jazz, folk and rock, and after graduating even started writing my own songs. Writing doesn’t come easy but gives me great pleasure, and I hope you’ll like the result as much as I liked the process.

So there! Lily in a nut-shell.
No, I wouldn’t actually fit in one, stop saying that.

Any questions? Do you absolutely have to know what I did last Wednesday or which song I sang in the shower this morning? Email me! :-D
