"All I need in life is my hollow bodied Gretsch and peanut butter..."
At just 18-years-old, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Lila Dupont is the kind of musical visionary capable of building entire worlds from the most nuanced expression. Made with Grammy Award-winning producer/writer/engineer Scott Jacoby, Lila’s debut body of work reveals a self-possessed artist on the cusp of an extraordinary career, bringing her captivating voice and vast imagination to songs with a spellbinding power.
Raised in New York City and born into a highly creative family (her father is sculptor/installation artist Richard Dupont), Lila began playing piano as a little girl and taught herself guitar and ukulele in her early teens. Although she wrote her first handful of songs around that time, it wasn’t until her family moved out of the city at the start of the pandemic that she fully immersed herself in songwriting. Lila soon came up with over 60 songs charged with a raw emotional depth.
Now living in the UK, Lila is at work on a debut album via Eusonia Records that lets listeners deeper into her inner world. “I tend to write when I’m at some kind of emotional peak, whether I’m feeling sad or angry or anxious, or if I have an insane burst of happiness,” she says. “All these songs are incredibly personal, but I tried to write them in a way that allows people to interpret them however they want and fit them into their own lives, because that’s what I’ve always done with the music I love.”
