Libby’s keyboard is an extension of her soul! Writing music and lyrics is as natural to her as singing. Her voice is unique, powerful and emotionally stirring as it spills out from her core, articulating beautifully life experiences of faith, hope and love. With an edginess compared with singers such as Joss Stone and the fervour of Alicia Keys, the depths of Libby’s voice and lyrics belie her youthful 23 years. A pastor’s daughter, Libby has seen and experienced more than her fair share of both hope and despair. Growing up with a love for gospel music and serving as Director of Music and Worship in the church has endowed her with a striking ability to create music and lyrics that entertain, uplift and stir the spirit.
Influences such as renowned gospel artists like Andraé Crouch, and The Winans, along with soul singers such as Aretha Franklin, The Isley Brothers, Donny Hathaway, and the more recent Anthony Hamilton have encouraged and stimulated Libby to create her own style of music with a message of love and hope. Her debut EP ‘Sweet and Sparkling’ was released in November 2009, recorded and mixed by Joe Johnson of Shed Seven fame.
