Lucy Schwartz

There is a magical quality to Lucy Schwartz. Her music feels like it is both of this world and otherworldly: intimate and emotional, haunting and enchanting. When Lucy sings, we are instantly drawn in by the sound of her siren voice, and led to a world uniquely her own – one that is light and dark, real and fantastical, weathered in sorrow, and colored in joy.

For Lucy, there is a visual nature to her music. “When I was in the studio recording Timekeeper, I began to see the connection between music and visuals. I realized that when a song feels right to me, I have a visual reaction to it. It’ll open up my imagination and I’ll start to see images, like a mini-movie theater inside my mind.”

Perhaps it is this cinematic quality of Lucy’s songs that makes her music such a natural fit for film and TV. When Lucy was just 18, a senior in high school, she wrote the opening and closing songs for the Meg Ryan film The Women. Since then, she has hand-tailored original songs for Twilight, Shrek, What Maisie Knew, Mother & Child, Post Grad, Greenleaf, and the international theme song for Parenthood. She has penned several songs for the show Nashville, including a song called “Black Roses”, which reached No. 6 on the iTunes Country charts. Tracks from Lucy’s albums have also been featured in many popular television shows like Girls, Love, Grey’s Anatomy and The Good Wife, to name a few.

Lucy has had a broad career outside of film and TV placements. As an independent artist, Lucy has released three albums and two EPs. She has shared the stage with the likes of Elton John, Moby, Brandi Carlile, Sarah McLachlan, The Civil Wars, A Fine Frenzy, Joshua Radin, KT Tunstall and Tom Odell. Lucy has also had a few on-screen roles: guest-starring as a singing waitress on House of Lies and making an appearance in Arrested Development as a member of George Michael’s band. Fun fact for Arrested Development fans: Lucy is also the voice behind “Mr. F” and “For British Eyes Only”. And while we’re talking about fun facts…did you know that Lucy also writes poetry and stories? You can read her pieces on her blog “Golden Rabbit And The Horseman”.

Lucy recently released a new single “Love Without a Cure” and will be releasing more singles this year. She is also working on a secret-for-now “mystery project”, which she describes as “combining my love of music with my love of film”.
