Lola Young

Graduating from the prestigious Brit School, mentored by the former managers of Adele and Amy Winehouse, a major record deal and nominations for the BRIT Awards and the BBC’s Sound of 2022 talent list. All that before turning 20. Lola Young seemed to have it all. Until some medical challenges disrupted the fairytale. She developed vocal cord issues and was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, which brought intrusive thoughts. But Young embraced her demons, giving her voice a distinct raw edge. Her mental health issues accelerated her maturity, making her twice as authentic. “A rapidly rising star giving pop music a refreshing and charming makeover,” declared a British newspaper. Absolutely true.
