About
Recognised as one of today’s most talented and versatile drummer/percussionists, Lucy’s fascination with drums was obvious from the age of 2, when she began watching performances by her father’s big band, “78RPM”. When she was 17, Lucy won the percussion category of the 2010 BBC Young Musician of the Year. She then went on to study classical percussion at the Royal College of Music with Dave Hockings and Ralph Salmins.

Lucy has traveled to Rio de Janeiro to study Samba, and to Havana to study Cuban music, including lessons with the legendary Changuito. As a result of being exposed to many musical genres throughout her life, Lucy is able to incorporate these diverse influences into her performances and compositions. Her piece Vibr-ant for solo vibraphone is published on Universal Editions, along with a music video featuring Lucy performing her own work.

2018 saw the premiere of Landymore’s ensemble music, held in concert at the Tonhalle Maag, Zurich. In this extraordinary project titled Football in Concert, she fused together her music with sport to enhance the experience of the FIFA World Cup football match, as well as adding visual excitement to the music itself. The project was commissioned by More than Classic. Lucy has also toured her composition Roo for solo vibraphone, violin and orchestra in multiple venues across Europe with Lucy as vibraphone soloist.

In 2019, Lucy was commissioned to write Fantaisie Festive for orchestra and 13 soloists for the 10 Year Gala of the Puplinge Classique Festival in Geneva, Switzerland.

Lucy and her brother, Ben Landymore, composed the film score for SHIELD, directed by Yijie Mei. Presently, Lucy is working on a project with film director Zu Quirke, involving her own composition Romance XL for solo multi-percussion.

Lucy proudly endorses Meinl Percussion, Meinl Cymbals, Protection Racket and sE Electronics.
