London-based singer-songwriter Lilla Shy wears her heart - and her name - on her sleeve. Named after the childhood blanket that comforted her through moments of shyness and social anxiety, Lilla Shy embodies vulnerability turned into strength. Her musical journey began in 2017 writing for DJs on the international EDM circuit, but it wasn’t until July 2022 that she stepped into her own spotlight, launching an autobiographical Bedroom Pop project driven by the urge to tell her own stories. Fast forward to now and the transformation has been remarkable. Following the release of her self-produced debut album ‘Layers’, Lilla has toured relentlessly across the UK and Europe. Highlights-to-date include supporting Matteo Bocelli at The London Palladium, performing at BBC Introducing Live, and appearing on the line-up at Glastonbury Festival 2025. Her music has earned nationwide airplay from John Kennedy (Radio X), Angela Griffin (BBC Radio2), Dean Jackson (BBC Introducing), Jaqueline Shepherd (BBC Radio London), Patrick Kielty (BBC 5Live) and Jodie Bryant (Voices Radio). Now, with her second album freshly recorded 2026 promises to be her boldest chapter yet. Born in Rome but artistically reborn in London, Lilla Shy is captivating hearts with her ethereal vocals and beautifully honest songwriting - proof that sometimes, the quietest types carry the loudest truths.
Lilla Shy creates a blend of bedroom pop, electro-pop, and indie-pop, characterized by her ethereal vocals and deeply honest, autobiographical songwriting, as heard on her debut album 'Layers'.
