Over the years, she’s established herself as a key and active member of the Newcastle music scene, including in her role on the board of directors at Sage Gateshead. She began developing her solo music in 2020, when she was invited to be artist in residence at Sage. Soon after came lockdown, and while she was shielding, she slowly built a new musical identity from the confines of her bedroom. On the back of performances at SXSW, a support tour with the Mystery Jets and funded by PRS foundation, Lyon recorded her new EP Direct Debit to Vogue with John Parish (Aldous Harding, This Is The Kit, PJ Harvey). This new body of work is offbeat, sophisticated chamber pop and Anti-Folk, commanded by soulful vocals and witty yet raw lyricism.
