Bright, colourful, and brilliant, Lucy Gallant has crafted her own genre, she lovingly refers to as bohemian Folk-pop. Anchored in folk-roots and enriched by a twist of soul and reggae, her sound is fiercely original, experimental, and avant-garde.
Having toured the USA, South and Central America, Japan, Australia, the UK, and much of Europe, she has dazzled audiences at intimate venues and major festivals, including Glastonbury Festival (UK), Beautiful Days (UK), Art Basel (US), and Australia’s largest music festivals, such as Splendour in the Grass, Woodford Folk Festival, and Byron Bay Bluesfest.
Her multicultural heritage is eclectically reflected in Lucy's craft. As a multi-instrumentalist and one-woman show, she creates high-energy rhythms on the Cajón with her feet, while simultaneously singing and playing guitar and chimes. Her Burmese, Russian, Irish, English and Australian roots inspire genre-blended tunes and her unique voice soars with rhapsodic range with soulful undertones, conveying a full spectrum of emotion.
A prolific songwriter, she has written over 1000 songs since childhood.
In 2024, Lucy single-handedly orchestrated a world tour across Australia, the United States, and Europe—an impressive feat accomplished without the support of a team or management. Her DIY spirit and unwavering determination solidify her as a true powerhouse and formidable force in the music industry. With a devoted and expanding fanbase exceeding 100,000 across various social media platforms, Lucy's vibrant presence continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
With four albums and multiple singles to her name, her most recent release, “Devious”, offers a raw and intimate exploration of the magnetic pull toward someone who is undeniably bad for you yet impossible to resist.
Fresh from a successful European tour, where she played 29 shows across the UK, France, and Germany, Lucy's mission remains clear: to uplift and inspire through her music. In a world besieged by war, environmental destruction, cruelty, depression, and loneliness, Lucy strives to shift the energy with her positive lyrics and vibrant sound. She believes that even the smallest spark of positivity can create a ripple effect, inspiring one person to transform and encouraging another to do the same.
“It starts with one, then there’s two, then three, and then a thousand.”
Lucy's nomadic heart led her to a life on the road in her early teens, beginning with a hitchhiking tour of Australia and evolving into a wild pilgrimage to more than 50 countries. She traveled on horseback through Brazil, camped with Bedouin tribes in Egypt, and stayed with families on Indian reserves. Her lust for freedom and adventure has significantly influenced her worldly musical style, creating a distinct tropical flavour.
After tragically losing both parents just six months apart during the global pandemic, Lucy's world fell apart. Yet, in her optimistic spirit, she transformed her pain into creativity, writing the poignant song “Heaven.” Released on her “Flowers” EP in 2023, this heartfelt track profoundly impacts anyone who hears it, often bringing entire audiences to tears. Lucy's ability to channel her emotions into music resonates deeply with listeners, showcasing her incredible strength and artistry.
To ease her heartache, she adopted a Chihuahua puppy named Lola. This sassy little companion has brought joy to Lucy’s life and become an integral part of her act. Together, they have completed two tours of Australia, with Lola’s big personality and love for travel shining through, winning hearts at every show.
“I've met many kind people from around the world, which has given me much more faith in humanity and positive change,” Lucy shares. “With my music, I aim to inspire people and help them remember who they are—the true person inside, not what they feel they are expected to be by others. We are all individually beautiful and unique, and if you truly just be yourself, then you are free and happy. The freer and happier you are, the more you will inspire others to do the same.”
“It is only a matter of time before she is a household name in Australia, on a major record label and headlining festivals here and around the world.”
– Peter Noble, Festival Director, Bluesfest
