Lettie

Lettie is a London-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist.

Lettie grew up in Suffolk, England.

She is a former Medieval History student and avid collector of postcards and ephemera. She has, as a result of her love of films, been recording videos for most of her songs since 2008. They often depict things that are fleeting and past such as the last day of Streatham Ice Arena on 17 December 2011 or an installation by Tomás Saraceno the Hayward Psycho Buildings exhibition (2008) or a day in her life which you can find on Youtube.

Lettie met producer/writer David Baron in 2006 and has made three records with him, Age of Solo and Everyman (2008) and "Good Fortune, Bad Weather" (May 2012). The records were primarily recorded and produced at David’s home studio in Boiceville, NY. All three records have been independently released.

In October 2009, Lettie performed a session at the BBC's Maida Vale Studios as part of 2009's Electric Proms. She performed Atmosphere, My Name Is, Red and Hang On, with Mike Mason on Alesis Ion and guitar. During the same month, Lettie embarked on her first European tour, supporting ex-Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy. Lettie appears as a singer and co-writer on Counting Waves on Sarah Fimm's White Birds EP.

She has supported Squeeze’s Chris Difford and Roger O'Donnell and played the ‘Introducing Stages’ at Glastonbury and Jimmy’s Farm in 2010.

In between albums she has written with Anthony Phillips (Genesis) and sung vocals for Universal Music Group and her voice has appeared on a number of commercials in the USA and Europe.

Lettie's new album produced and written with David Baron ‘Good Fortune, Bad Weather’ makes use of David's fine collection of unusual instruments such as moogs, syths. and arps. The album features the musicianship of Award winning Grammy producer and guitarist Danny Blume, Zachary Alford on drums and Sara Lee, D James Goodwin on guitars, Jeremy Bernstein, and David Baron on synthesizers and everything else. The album garnered favourable many reviews across the board including 4 stars from the Irish Times
