AMY LOU
Singer/Songwriter
Ethereal Indie Pop
Gigging with her guitar since she was 15, this charmingly ditzy singer/songwriter with the crystal clear voice is a true gem. Growing up with an unexpected love for classic Rock, Amy Lou is a self-taught guitarist who shines through her: soft, mesmerizing and free-spirited vocals. Being a master of extremes, imagine: cotton candy softness in juxtaposition with rock hard beats - she skillfully creates a chilled, as well as experimental Indie Pop vibe. This instantly allows the listener to find their happy place. Making music is Amy Lou’s happy place, as this is how she “found herself”. She would also like to inspire her listeners find themselves through listening to her tracks.
Her sound being a slight contradiction within itself - is also influenced by the extremely opposite sounds of her upbringing. Hard Rock tunes echoing from her family house one minute, as well as soft classical music - as her mum played the cello in the Royal Orchestra and her Grandmother a talented piano player. This comes through in the harder instrumentals paired with her fluffy soft vocals.
Don’t be fooled by her soft demeanor however, as she is a little rebel at heart. This attitude for example led her to go get piercings when she was underage. Little did she know that the girl piercing her, would turn into her future girlfriend. In fact most of Amy Lou’s dreamy and colourful lyrics are also now dedicated to her girlfriend.
​
Her lyricism manages to create a mellow mood with many points of interest. Reminiscent of her love for fantasy fiction, her angelic voice transport the listener to fantasy lands far far away. This is also a reflection of her character. Being out of the ordinary used to be a struggle for Amy Lou, until she started teaching herself the guitar via Youtube tutorials. Playing the guitar turned intoher absolute sanctuary.
​
Amy Lou’s maturity - complimented by her caring nature - instantly exude from her voice. Her main drive lies within gaining satisfaction from: her listener truly understanding and appreciating her tunes. Music being her therapy, she enticingly depicts everyday moments: how a smile from a stranger can change your entire day, for example. Her authenticity and genuine nature shines through in all of her tracks. This allows the listener to relate to her without any barriers. Pure talent got her instantly noticed by one of the CCC founders - and she has already collaborated with the CCC producers oneninenine and Jacq. Her tracks provide a welcome sanctuary for everyone who fancies losing themselves in a beautiful soundscape.
