Lila Blue

Bio

LILA BLUE (they/she) is a twenty-three year old non-binary and queer folk musician, singer-songwriter, playwright and performer based out of Brooklyn.

They have been performing and composing professionally since early childhood in communally devised theater with the likes of Bread and Puppet Theater and the Lake Lucille Chekhov Project, as well as developing a solo music career. Their projects navigate themes of grief, joy, intergenerational trauma, rage, queerness and collisions with divine and haunted spirits, stemming from their own intuitive practices (which include writing in their sleep). They have composed music for film and television, most notably for MTV and Lifetime.

They released their fourth LP, “Sweet Pea,” on Nov. 10th, 2023, on MOXE. It’s garnered much critical praise including Ann Powers of NPR, “they bring an incredible authority to songwriting and singing...enormous fearlessness and panache….”

Lila says “If someone asked me to tell them who I am, I’d give them this record.” Stream “Sweet Pea” on all streaming platforms.

They’re currently developing an original musical about the life and work of artist Hilma af Klint.
