Cardiff-born, Welsh-speaking singer-songwriter Lily Beau is stepping out from behind the scenes and into the spotlight with her debut EP, Little Old Me. A collection of soulful, introspective songs, the EP dives into themes of unrequited love, quarter-life crises, and the search for inner healing. For Lily, this project is more than just an introduction—it’s a heartfelt reflection of her journey as an artist, crafted over years of songwriting in her childhood bedroom, and a celebration of her Irish-Jamaican roots.

Little Old Me is a deeply personal milestone for Lily, who has spent the better part of a decade honing her voice and talents while working behind the scenes in the music industry. Growing up in a household filled with vinyl jazz records and a love for movies, she began writing songs at just 12 years old, spinning tales of childhood dreams and first crushes (most notably, her early infatuation with Daniel Radcliffe). This early creative spark would shape her path as a musician, leading her to London at the age of 16 to attend East London Arts and Music (ELAM), where she nurtured her burgeoning talent.

Although Lily built a successful five-year career in A&R, working with emerging talent and navigating the music business from the inside, she never let go of her own aspirations to be on the other side of the stage. Over the years, she continued writing and performing, releasing Welsh-language music and playing at some of the UK’s most iconic venues, including the Troubadour, Spice of Life, and Wales Millennium Centre. She’s also shared stages with notable artists like Jack Savoretti and Joel Culpepper, and in 2022, she had the prestigious opportunity to represent Wales at the Nobel Peace Centre in Norway.

Lily Beau’s journey to releasing Little Old Me has been shaped by her experiences both in front of and behind the scenes in the music industry. Her accomplishments extend far beyond her role as a singer-songwriter—she’s also a talented actor, having starred in the Welsh Bafta-winning film Y Sŵn and leading the Bafta-nominated TV show Y Goleudy. In 2022, she composed the theme for the Welsh Government’s post-pandemic reopening, which she performed for the Queen, further solidifying her position as a multifaceted artist with a unique voice.

Her career highlights include performing with Tony Visconti’s Unsigned Heroes for Sky Arts, where she shared the stage with music legends like Bob Geldof, Imelda May, and Stewart Copeland. These experiences have only fueled Lily’s passion for performance, and now, with Little Old Me, she’s ready to share her music with the world on her own terms.

The EP is a testament to Lily’s resilience, creativity, and authenticity. It’s a celebration of her journey—from writing songs about Daniel Radcliffe as a pre-teen to navigating the complexities of adulthood and quarter-life crises. With a blend of pop, folk, and soulful introspection, Little Old Me captures both the vulnerability and strength that define Lily’s artistry.

As she steps into the spotlight, there’s no doubt that Lily Beau is an artist to watch. Her voice, both as a musician and a storyteller, speaks to the universal experiences of love, anxiety, and self-discovery. Little Old Me is just the beginning of what promises to be a remarkable career, and with her talent and drive, Lily is poised to make a lasting impact on the music scene.
