LETTIE

While fellow Suffolk-born Thomas Gainsborough created masterpieces with the use of paint and canvas, Lettie produces masterpieces within the world of song-writing. Learning to play the piano at the age of 6, her love of the classical theme has stayed with her throughout the resultant years. Despite a classical upbringing her move into song-writing began at the age of 16, with inspiration coming from her own experiences, and the avid collecting of newspaper articles and a passion for the arts in all its various forms. Her first full album titled “Everyman” introduces the world to someone with a very distinctive and special voice, sometimes delicate, but never weak, and a unique style of song-writing. Every song has a strong theme which takes the listener to, at times, a deep inner soul of thought, and yet at other times a place where humour rules, while the album is completed with a quirky and very unusual finish. Throughout the album Lettie wraps you into her own world, and a place you never want to leave and want to experience time and time again. Her latest album “Age of Solo” starts like a prelude to a grand film masterpiece, take away the grand film and this album is definitely a masterpiece of Gainsborough proportions. With a charm and honesty rarely found nowadays, her albums are a monument to her immense talent, however it is in Lettie’s “live” performances which set her apart from her contemperies, with a breathtaking performance which has the audience on the edge of their seats hoping that Lettie achieves a masterful multi loop routine, which she inevitably does, and allows the audience to breath a sigh of relief. Lettie’s albums are class, her live performances are musically abstract personified. In a musical world which sadly endorses hyped-up blandness, thankfully there are still talented individuals such as the brilliant Lettie who give hope for the future of music throughout the world.
