Lilla Shy
Lilla Shy is a London based singer, songwriter and producer who attributes her name to a blanket she’s had since she was
born, which became her soft amulet in times of social anxiety and shyness. Lilla started her writing journey in 2017 for DJs in the international EDM scene but only in July 2022 started her autobiographical Indie Pop project, moved by the urge to tell her own stories.
Fast forward to now and life is very different. Since the release of her self-produced debut album ‘Layers’ in September 2024, Lilla has toured up and down the UK and across the EU throughout 2025, from France, Belgium, Holland and Germany right through to Spain. Her shows have hit some major high points, featuring a show supporting Matteo Bocelli at The London Palladium in ’23, BBC Introducing Live in ’24, selling out her most recent headline show at the iconic Troubadour in London and, even more recently, performing at Glastonbury Festival 2025.
Her tracks have gained tremendous national radio support from John Kennedy at Radio X, Jodie Bryant on Voices Radio whilst appearing live on air with Dean Jackson on BBC Introducing, BBC Radio London with Jaqueline Shepherd and BBC 5Live for Patrick Kielty. The album has also landed her on multiple Spotify (Borderless, Fresh Finds, New Music Friday) & Apple Music (New Pop) editorial playlists and received high praise from Wonderland Magazine.
She is now working on her second album with esteemed producer Ed Harcourt (credits include Paloma Faith and Sophie Ellis-Bextor).
The girl from Rome found her musical home in the UK has captured the hearts of many with her beautiful voice and heartfelt, honest songwriting.
