The album documents Lucy’s journey from the television icon, who captured the nation’s hearts when she appeared on Channel 4’s The Piano at just 13 years old, to recording artist, taking the seat at George
Michael’s piano at the iconic Metropolis Studios in this highly-anticipated first studio recording.

The featured single, “I’m Walking With You”, written especially for Lucy by Debbie Wiseman OBE, was chosen for 2024’s GB Paralympic Homecoming Ceremony which was televised on Channel 4 on 14th September, in a celebration of determination and endeavour across music and sport.

The album showcases a majestic yet tender duet with baritone Aled Jones, as the duo deliver the Christmas classic, “Silent Night”.

The Story of Lucy
BAFTA nominated Lucy, stole the nation’s hearts when she won Channel 4’s The Piano at just 13 years old, having performed on a keyboard at Leeds Train Station.

Lucy stopped people in their tracks and left bystanders in tears as she played her beautiful rendition of Chopin‘s Nocturne in B-flat Minor.

Lucy is completely blind and has a chromosome 16 duplication, which is a rare condition affecting mental health with autism traits and affecting overall communication. Lucy is hypermobile and suffers with CVS. She is in remission from bi-lateral retina-blastoma and is globally developmentally delayed.

However, Lucy has a talent and it is by using this extraordinary talent, Lucy is able to communicate.

Lucy’s story began with a children’s book with a tiny piano, where at 5 years old Lucy started playing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. The family, then upgraded her keyboard and realised she was composing music in her head while sitting on the sofa. Lucy was able to play back music after listening to it just once.
World-renowned pianist, Lang Lang and pop sensation, Mika crowned 13-year-old Lucy, the ‘unofficial’ winner of the competition with her stunning performance of Debussy’s Arabesque No1, which she performed in front of 2000 people at the Royal Festival Hall.

Since then…

Lucy was invited to perform at HRH King‘s Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle where she played a note perfect performance of Bach Prelude in C in front of 18 million people.

The world renowned Royal Albert Hall welcomed Lucy to the stage for the first time in October 2023, performing Debussy Arabesque No.1 and Bach Prelude in C to a full house at Classic FM Live. Classic FM’s reel of her performance has over 11.7m views – the biggest ever reel on Classic FM to date.

Lucy and Lang Lang’s special bond began on Channel 4’s The Piano and continued at Windsor Castle where they both appeared at the Coronation Concert. Later that year they were both invited to perform at the ITV Royal Variety, again, taking to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall.

It was whilst filming the Hungarian Dance for ITV’s Royal Variety at the Royal Albert Hall, a magical moment between Lang Lang and Lucy was captured during some downtime with an impromptu duet of Faure’s Pavane Op.50. The Lang Lang International Music Foundation soon announced Lucy as an International Ambassador.

Lucy ended last year performing Silent Night on Channel 4’s The Piano Christmas Special – a beautiful- duet with jazz legend Gregory Porter.

2024 began with BAFTA nominating Lucy’s performance on Channel 4’s The Piano as TVs Most Memorable Moment of 2023 and Channel 4 made a special documentary about Lucy called ‘The Incredibly Talented Lucy’.
