Lydia Jane Pugh began performing at the age of 6, through local theatre productions. She trained as a musician via the Guernsey Music Service, learning piano, voice, cello, percussion, and eventually she taught herself the guitar at university. At 16 she started working as a self-accompanied vocalist, performing in Hotels, Pubs and for weddings and private events across the Channel Islands. In 2005 she was awarded an unconditional offer to study for a BA in Music at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA), where she first started songwriting and developing her unique 'Jazz'n'Roll' style; merging off-the-wall vocal technique with soulful-jazz, driving rock-n-roll, beautiful folk and a good dash of charisma. With original songs and insightful interpretations of modern day songs in the jazz idiom, Lydia’s music transcends genres and gets straight to the heart of it’s listeners. 

Since leaving LIPA Lydia has worked tirelessly as a performer, in her home island of Guernsey, across the UK and as far afield as Canada and the USA. Her songwriting talent is clear, having been shortlisted for the Songdoor International Songwriting Competition, 2012, and making the semi-finals 'Song of the Year, 2014' with '1945' (soft-rock category).
