Q&A With Lily:

What kind of advice would you give to artists who are starting out in the industry?

The first thing that I think most people would say "if you don't live in LA or Nashville, Move to LA or Nashville', If you're tryna be on the Entertainment side, especially (...). Moving to either LA or Nashville and immersing yourself in the community of creatives and collaborators, I think is the best way to start.



Since you opened for Shania Twain on her 2023 Queen of Me Tour, what was the most memorable moment while touring with Shania, and did she give you some advice?

Shania told me that "I just hear it in your voice (...) I hear it in your music, your genre list, and continue to just walk in the room and just write the songs that feels the most naturally you, don't try to target any genre". And being in a room with such an icon, like Shania and talking with her was so special.
