dreamfolk singer-songwriter, producer, sound healer

ABOUT LUCIA

Lucía is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and sound-healer born in Sevilla, Spain, living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her unmistakable voice and lush arrangements are matched by elegant recordings in a genre she calls 'dream folk.’ Over the years her music has led to studio and live collaborations with Grammy-winning producer Malcolm Burn (Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley), Julie Wolf (Ani Difranco, Sia), Grammy-nominated Jai Uttal, sacred music troubadour Murray Kyle, Jonathan Richman (The Modern Lovers), Joey Maramba (Rickie Lee Jones, John Cale), Lorca Hart (Meklit, Freddie Hubbard), Chris Haugen (Phil Lesh), and Sudhananda, amongst others. 

Lilikoi’s songs have been featured alongside Jai Uttal, Rising Appalachia, Tina Malia, Deva Premal and Simrit. Her original music has been featured on tv shows (‘The L Word,’), and she’s scored music for documentary films (‘Sold in America,’ 2009, and ‘The Future of Energy,’ 2013, featuring luminary Buddhist ecologist, Joanna Macy). Lucia has performed her original music at prestigious venues all over the world, including The House of Blues Hollywood, The Alcázar of Sevilla, Natural High Healing Festival in Finland, Esalen in Big Sur, and Gibson Guitar Studios in London, to name a few. She started her musical training learning classical piano at the Madrid Conservatory, she’s a Berklee College of Music alum, studied Sound Healing at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), and vocal improvisation under the wings of mentor Rhiannon (Bobby McFerrin.)

On November 11th, 2021 Lucia Lilikoi released her fourth full-length album, “LUZ.” Across ten songs, Lucia reveals her interpretation of the element of light, offering a soothing balm after a tumultuous year, through the theme of belonging and alliance with nature. It was produced, engineered and mixed by Lilikoi, in her debut as producer/engineer. The album includes contributions from Garth Stevenson on double bass and Joey Maramba on electric bass, Manose and Bodhi on flute, Helen Newby on cello, Ben Leinbach on percussion, and others. Her first two singles, “Angel of Mine” and “Land Where I Belong” are already garnering rave reviews

A contrast to the Neptunian Vessel (2016), LUZ embodies the elements of earth and fire. In Lucia’s words: “These songs are invocations; love poems to the earth and to the elements to call us home. They are songs of refuge, so we can remember our essence.”
