In 2010, Lucy gained grade 8 distinctions in both her piano and singing, as well as winning a place in the prestigious Rudolfus Choir after attending the Eton Choral Course in Trinity College, Cambridge in 2010. She most recently featured at a vocalist on Kele's EP The Hunter.
Lucy was born in Stockbridge, Hampshire, to Karin and Stephen Taylor. She still lives there, with her older sibling Jonathan (1990), who was in the Winchester Cathedral Boys Choir (and who was made Deputy Head Chorister in his final year). She showed interest in music from an early stage, learning the piano from the age of 6, and the harp from the age of 7. She also - for a short period of time - played the cello when she was 11. She attended Salisbury Cathedral School up until the age of 13, before attending St Swithun's School, Winchester as a music scholar.
