A British indie folk singer-songwriter 'Lucy Rose'

Hello everyone! Today, I am going to talk about an indie/acoustic/pop solo singer from England who just came to Thailand a few days ago. "Lucy Rose" an English singer-songwriter and musician from Warwickshire. First of all, I want to tell you a little bit about how I know her or her songs.

Last Friday, while I was watching Instagram stories on my phone, I saw one of my friends going to see the concert. It was a woman being on stage with her guitar. Her performing was so well even though I saw her just in 15 seconds. But only a few times, I really fell in love with her appearance, her performance, the guitar she was playing and so on. So, I want you to know more about this wonderful British folk singer.

"Lucy Rose" who was born and bred in England. She discovered her love of music while she learned to play the drums. Her songwriting started with her writing tunes on her family home's piano. She later bought a guitar from a shop that she passed on the way to school, taught herself and began writing material at around the age of sixteen. Rose never played her material for anyone until she left home after completing her A-levels.

At eighteen, she moved to London instead of taking her place at University College London to study geography, she began experimenting and performing with other musicians. It was at this time when she met Jack Steadman, the frontman of Bombay Bicycle Club, an English indie rock band from Crouch End, London, and they became friends.

Once Steadman heard Rose sing, he asked if she would like to perform vocals on a song he had written and was recording. The acoustic album Flaws came out in 2010 with Steadman on lead vocals and Rose performing backing vocals, most notably on the title track "Flaws", as well as others on the album. She also performs some backing vocal duties on Bombay Bicycle Club's third album, A Different Kind of Fix, and features in their fourth, So Long, See You Tomorrow. Rose also performs some backing vocal duties on the track This Sullen Welsh Heart by the Manic Street Preachers, a Welsh alternative rock band, on their album Rewind the Film.

Rose also began playing her own shows, and gradually assembled a band for live performances; on-and-off bandmembers included former Razorlight guitarist Björn Ågren, drummer Sam Nadel, and Broadcast 2000 bassist Joe Steer. With only a small budget, Rose shunned traditional recording studios and instead opted for live videos shot by close friend Orestes Mitas, which she posted online. She continued to tour throughout 2011, playing with contemporaries Ben Howard, Daughter, and Pete Roe along with headlining her own shows.

After beginning her career touring and singing for Bombay Bicycle Club and Noah and the Whale, plus the festival circuit during the summer, she decided to become a solo artist and started recording her debut album 'Like I Used To' which was produced by Charlie Hugall and recorded in the living room of her parents' house in Warwickshire. It was released on 24 September 2012 through Columbia Records which she was signed on 12 May that year.

'Like I Used To' consists of 11 songs which she wrote by herself in her bedroom. She tried not to think too much and make all of them as natural as they could be.
