Lucia Iman

About Me

Lucia is currently recording her second Album near Woodstock, New York with producer Malcolm Burn (Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley, Emmylou Harris, Rachael Yamagata, Kaki King, Brian Eno). Through the crowd-funding website Sellaband she raised 50K with the help of 903 fans or "believers", and was able to make the recording of this Album possible. Lucia was born in Sevilla, Spain, the city of duende, or magic, and she is now based in Los Angeles where she composes and performs. She has traveled around the world with her music and has a broad range of credits as a recording artist globally. She initiated her formal training as a pianist at the Real Musical Conservatory in Madrid and later attended Berklee College of Music in Boston to study Jazz and Contemporary studies. Music Connection Magazine considers Lucia Iman one of the top 100 unsigned acts of 2007 and calls her “a disarming performer and intriguing live act thanks to her natural talent. Iman shows obvious promise. She is someone to keep an eye on.” Her style has been described as “anti-pop”, and her sound compared to Feist, Regina Spektor, Fiona Apple, Joni Mitchell and Björk. Lucia put forth her first European Tour in the spring of 2008, performing at 8 different cities, including London, Paris and Madrid and amassing public acclaim at live and radio shows. Her album "Lucia Iman"is available on itunes and cdbaby.
