Lucy Woodward

Born in London, Lucy spent her childhood in New York and The Netherlands. She is the daughter of two classical musicians - her father a conductor and composer, her mother an opera singer, musicologist, teacher and belly-dancer. No matter which household she was living in, she was “always music-making and creating.” She lived in a world obsessed with playing the flute, piano lessons after her grandmother every Monday night and ballet. When she was 12, she sang in a karaoke booth at the mall and her life was forever changed. She proudly went to public high school in The Bronx and was always singing choirs, ensembles and musicals with her friends. “Growing up in NYC you have subway cars to sing in and street corners to sing on so there was always a place to be yourself.”
