Singer-songwriter Lottie J has been making headlines since she was 8 years old, and has been further encouraged by Jamie Cullum when he visited her school and donated his old piano.

One of Lottie’s first finished songs, ‘Kiss Your Old Life Away’ made the final 10 of The Song Academy’s Singer/Songwriter Competition, with judges commenting:

“Love the vibe and the way the chorus went somewhere unexpected” – Tom Odell

“I like this and the spiritual imagery” – Rumer

In 2016 Lottie made the Grand Final of Future Music’s Songwriting Competition, which took place at the renowned Dingwalls in Camden, London with judges including Ivor Novella Award winner Mark Hill.
