Lucy Swann

Lucy Swann has captured the attention of the Norwegian music scene with her powerful vocals and explosive live performances. She composes intuitively and with her audience in mind. Her pop music explores the balance between electronic and organic elements as well as mixing a classic British modesty with an intensely soulful presence. The outcome is hard-hitting, rhythmic and flirtatious compositions, all relating to her primary sources of inspiration, gospel and soul.
