About Lydia

“She writes the songs and you swear they're about you. Raw feeling. Honest stories. Melodies that linger.”

Her songs sit at the intersection of folk, classic rock, and direct storytelling. She has cited The Cranberries, Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin, and Sarah McLachlan as influences, and her lyrics stay close to love, heartbreak, and the complications of growing up.
