Premiering the release of her debut EP, Looking Glass, University of Liverpool Music graduate Lydia Reece is joined by her live band which also comprises of music graduates for a one-time-only popular/classical fusion that showcases her soul/R&B music accompanied by an orchestral arrangement.

Having performed since the age of three, the 22-year-old singer songwriter has cultivated a passionate, free-flowing, and evocative tone alongside a powerful stage presence. Her lyricism is coloured with themes of self-reflection, honesty, and soul. Directly influenced by the likes of Lauryn Hill, Jorja Smith, Jamiroquai & Yebba, a luscious blend of soul, R&B, jazz-funk, and acid jazz manifest in her harmonies, melisma, and jazz cadence.

Featuring on BBC Introducing Northwest and catching the attention of Jools Holland & Ruby Turner on a charity single cover of ‘Peace in the Valley’, Lydia Reece continues to establish herself as a dedicated and driven female artist in the Liverpool music scene.
