Originally from North Jersey, and daughter to Brazilian immigrants, Lily Lyon was inspired in both her parents’ pursuit of the American Dream as well as the diverse music she grew up around. She started a band at the young age of 11 with her best friends and those 10 years were formative for her as an artist and songwriter.
Her dad is from Bahia and my mom is from Espirito Santo, and they met here in the U.S. in 1988 and got married in 1991. Lily has dual citizenship and has been very immersed in the Brazilian community through her parents and their business. They opened up a store in New Jersey in 1990 that is still open today. She attended Berklee College of Music in Boston.
“Many of my friends and musical network were moving to L.A. and I was sick of the cold so I decided to move right after graduation in 2016. The City of Angels seemed like the best choice to continue to pursue my music and songwriting career”, said Lily.
When Lily moved to Los Angeles she decided to pursue a solo career and her music diversified while also taking a turn towards pop. Her singles “Boi” , “Bomba”, and “Macumba” have a strong influence of Brazilian music, while other songs like “Stuck” and “Roses” showcase her background in rock and classic rock. Lily delivers songs of empowerment and vulnerability along with powerhouse vocals – www.lilylyonmusic.com
