About

Hailed by BBC Introducing Midlands as ‘Hot for 2025’, Nottingham-born LDYA’s fresh take on feel-good soul music has captivated audiences since the release of her debut single, New Thing, in October 2024. Since then, LDYA has been featured on Radio 1, New Music Friday UK, won the highly-competitive Mahogany Music Fund and performed at SXSW London.

LDYA’s mission is to create music that reflects the whole of life: the mountain tops, the everyday, and the struggles. LDYA makes music to build connection and community with her audience and is dedicated to crafting songs and live performances that make you feel like you’re visiting an old friend.
