Lillie-Jo is a singer-songwriter and model from Islington. She credits her soulful voice and love for music to her upbringing. Growing up in a pub, she was exposed to a range of artists from Frank Sinatra to Timi Yuro and Amy Winehouse. This bustling environment was perfect for her to develop her performances and confidence to an impressive standard. Having her debut single ‘Battle’ documented on Channel 5, Lillie-Jo is already making moves, and this is just the beginning!<\/p>\n

What or who inspired you to begin a career in music?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always loved to sing, I\u2019ve been singing since I could speak but I believe the moment I knew it was what I wanted to do for a living I was very young in my parents pub, singing and dancing for the customers. I loved listening to all the old singers and definitely got my taste in music from my parents. I\u2019ve always had a super supportive family and I\u2019m super grateful for that, so I suppose in a way my family inspired me by supporting me so much!<\/p>\n

What differs you and your sound from other rising singer-songwriters in the music industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not really one for comparing myself to other people to be honest, I see parts of me in a lot of other artists but I\u2019m the only me in the world and I don\u2019t like to compare myself and especially my music, the type of music I make differs but at the end of the day, I know exactly what I want to sound like and what I want to put across. My music is my baby I wouldn\u2019t compare my baby to someone else\u2019s aha!<\/p>\n

Your new single \u2018TBH\u2019<\/a> is out now. Can you please describe the creative process and inspiration behind the release?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The creative process was a really short one, written and recorded in under an hour. I was given the topic heartless and it reminded me of a time I was seeing someone who was clearly a lot more interested in me than I was in him and I just sparked the creative juices in my brain and TBH was made!<\/p>\n

Writing the song came really easy if I could change anything I\u2019d re-record but it\u2019s branded as a \u201cfreestyle\u201d type thing so I won\u2019t. I\u2019m happy with the song and the reaction it\u2019s got so far has been incredible?<\/p>\n
