Netherlands-born, Sheffield-based LIO creates alternative pop with a twist compared to the likes of Florence and the Machine and Daughter.
With her eclectic sound and powerful live performances, she has supported high-profile acts such as Orchards, Skinny Pelembe, Slow Club, Our Girl and While She Sleeps.
After having been shortlisted in BBC Introducing Sheffield’s ‘Top 50 Tracks of 2018’ and Unsigned Guide’s ‘Spotlight Artists January 2019’, she has enjoyed multiple festival appearances (Tramlines, Liverpool Sound City, Long Division, Y Not Festival), radio play (Amazing Radio, BBC Introducing Sheffield) and support from Higher Rhythm in collaboration with PRSF Open Fund, Help Musicians UK, Arts Council and OneFest.
“UK-based, Dutch musician LIO is one of Holland’s most intriguing new singer-songwriters, having carved a reputation as someone who is able to capture the pure essence of human emotion within her music.” - All Things Loud
“Probably one of the best [live] sessions I have had the pleasure of being involved with the entire time I’ve been presenting BBC Introducing. Just incredible stuff.” - BBC Introducing Sheffield
