THE STORY
Lucy & La Mer is an alt pop artist from Los Angeles, California.
Lucy LaForge, the artist behind the name “Lucy & La Mer”, is known for her upbeat and optimistic songs, as well as for her mental health advocacy within the LGBTQ community. Coming out in an interview in 2018, Billboard stated that the singer is “proud of who and what she is.”
Lucy’s music has been featured by The LA Times, Rolling Stone India, Huffington Post, EARMILK, Billboard Pride, Pride and many more publications. Her music is a blend of pop empowerment with lyrical stylings mirroring her storytelling folk music upbringing.
Tired of walking into dark. loud, and often sticky venues in Los Angeles, Lucy founded the annual “Love is Gay” all-ages daytime festival in 2017. The inclusive benefit concert features queer fronted bands and vendors, and raises money for the LA LGBT Center. After the success of it’s first 3 years at The Echo venue in LA, the Love is Gay Tour launched in 2019, traveling to over 10+ cities and gaining sponsors all along the West Coast.
Often seen performing with a ukulele, Lucy was chosen to feature the new Billie Eilish Ukulele by Fender in Summer 2020, and presented the Dhani Harrison ukulele in 2021. The singer has also collaborated with major brands like IKEA, HP, Guitar Center, and Kala Ukuleles. Her music can be heard on international commercials, with companies such as Disney and Dove using her upbeat tunes in advertisements.
In 2021, Lucy’s single “Ooh La La” inspired various TikTok influencers to get up and dance. With over 3 million TikTok views, Lucy’s Social Media has become a place of encouragement to many. Her authentic videos spread the message of inclusion and equality, and her catchy tunes continue to reach new listeners every day.
In 2023, Lucy was featured by YouTube on a billboard in Times Square NYC and in Los Angeles. Her recent songs “Ice Cream” and “I love my dog” are throwbacks to her early americana/folk sound and focus around her campaign for mental health.
The artist will be performing at pride events in Australia in Summer 2024 with new music being released in the fall.
