Lusaint

Blending jazz, neo-soul, pop and more, Manchester artist Lucy Hopkins - better known as Lusaint - produces music which feels born from smoky jazz clubs which has seen her compared to Adele, Amy Winehouse, Billie Holiday and Nina Simone.

She is perhaps best known for breaking the record for the most daily Shazams in the UK after her cover of En Vogue's ‘Don't Let Go (Love)’ was played for a few seconds in ITV2's Love Island.

Her blissful slice of bright pop-soul feels instantly timeless which has seen her endure wrath of live performances, including key festival appearances like Montreux Jazz Festival, Monte Carlo Film Festival Gala, Jazz A Vienne, Theatre Elisabethain, Les Enfants Du Jazz Festival, The Hundred (BBC Introducing) and Hit The City Festival as well being selected to meet the Pope and perform at the annual Concerto di Natale (Christmas concert).

As well as adding to her existing stellar list of support artists, Lusaint opened the stage for the likes of Michael Kiwanuka, Kimberose, Robert Plant, JP Cooper and finishing with a twenty four date European & UK support tour for Calum Scott.
